This is the list of operating systems currently supported by NSX Cloud for your workload VMs in the NSX Enforced Mode.
See the NSX Cloud Known Issues section in the NSX Release Notes for exceptions. For supported operating systems it is assumed that you are using the standard Linux kernel versions. Public cloud marketplace images with custom kernels, for example, upstream Linux kernel with modified sources, are not supported.
On Red Hat Enterprise Linux and its derivatives, SELinux is not supported. To install NSX Tools, disable SELinux.
RHEL Extended Update Support (EUS) kernel in RHEL and CentOS are not supported.

...with this update for RHEL 7.8 and RHEL 7.9:
