Answers to Frequent Questions
ELevate is a project aimed to provide the ability to upgrade between major versions of RHEL-based distributions. First announced by AlmaLinux in 2021, ELevate combines two key components: updates to the open source LEAPP project and a data library called leapp-data. These together allow users to upgrade in-place from an unsupported operating system to a modern operating system, and then from 8 to 9 of that operating system.
Individuals and organizations that require an enterprise-grade linux distribution, without the need for a commercial license agreement. AlmaLinux OS is also a perfect replacement for anyone who has historically relied on the CentOS Linux releases to achieve computing objectives, and for whom CentOS Stream is not the right solution.
ELevate wurde zur Migration von Produktionsumgebungen branchenübergreifend und auf der ganzen Welt eingesetzt, wir raten jedoch dennoch zur Vorsicht. Jede Umgebung ist einzigartig, mit unterschiedlichen Anwendungen und Konfigurationen.
Um Überraschungen zu vermeiden, empfehlen wir Ihnen dringend, Upgrade-Szenarien in einer virtuellen Maschine oder Sandbox zu testen, bevor Sie Upgrades in der Produktion ausführen.
Yes, and yes! All your data, applications and settings will be kept. Migrations will require your system to reboot twice.
Unsere Mitwirkenden sind schon seit sehr langer Zeit Teil des RHEL-Ökosystems und wir haben erkannt, dass das CentOS-Ökosystem eine sehr große und vielfältige Community ist. Wir entwickeln dieses Projekt in der Hoffnung, dass es jeder in der Community benutzen und zu seiner Verbesserung beitragen kann, egal welche Distribution er einsetzt. Das ist der Gedanke von Open-Source.
