Hi Bruno,

I'm not aware of any known issues. We are running the following version ourselves in production:

I can't give you 100% guarantee but would be very surprised that RHEL 7 would pose specific issues.

Apache Cassandra themselves claim to be compatible with a wide array of Linux distributions, see:
https://cassandra.apache.org/doc/latest/cassandra/getting_started/installing.html

Hope this helps.

Hi Bruno,
Keep in mind the end of the maintenance for RHEL7 will be on June 2024.

If you are aiming to use it in a production environment, try to go for a newer version (RHEL8, or 9 )
