Customers using Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 should upgrade the OS on Self-hosted agents
SummaryAI, from the source post

This post announces that RHEL 6 will no longer be supported by Azure Pipelines agents starting with version 2.214.2 due to the dependency on .NET Core 3.1, which no longer receives updates for RHEL 6. Customers are advised to upgrade their OS or set the AGENT_ACKNOWLEDGE_NO_UPDATES environment variable to 'true' to continue using RHEL 6 agents with the understanding that they will not receive security patches or future updates. It also provides guidance on identifying RHEL 6 agents and explains the reasons for the lack of updates.
