CentOS 8 In-place upgrade to Rocky Linux 8
Why do you need to do an in-place upgrade?
The CentOS Project has announced the end-of-life (EOL) for CentOS Linux. If you are a CentOS Linux user, you may be concerned about how to update, maintain, and migrate away from CentOS Linux after EOL. To address these concerns, we have created this event to inform users on how to migrate away from CentOS Linux.
Background information
The CentOS Project is shifting focus from CentOS Linux, a rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), to CentOS Stream. This shift affects current CentOS Linux versions in the following ways:
CentOS 7 continues to be supported and is scheduled to reach EOL on June 30, 2024.
CentOS 8 had its lifecycle cut short to December 31, 2021.
Overview
During this event, we will perform a live in-place upgrade of CentOS 8 to Rocky Linux 8.
