I've got an old version of Red Hat and would like to mirror our server in the cloud, mainly for disaster management. Can I get Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.9 (Tikanga) for a Virtual Machine?

Thanks

    Hello mbernachi

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform, thanks for posting your query here.

    RedHat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.9 (Tikanga) is no longer supported by RedHat and is not available in Azure Marketplace.

    Ref: https://access.redhat.com/articles/3078

    https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps?search=redhat&page=1&filters=linux%3Bvirtual-machine-images%3Bpartners

    https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata

    However, you can try this alternative of bringing your own Red Hat subscription to Azure and use it to create a virtual machine with Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.9 (Tikanga) and see if that works.
    Ref: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/workloads/redhat/byos?tabs=AzureRM

    Hope this helps.
