Projet communautaire
ELevate est développé de manière agnostique par rapport à la distribution et est conçu comme un outil pour l'ensemble de l'écosystème, pas seulement pour AlmaLinux. The enterprise linux ecosystem is a very large and diverse community, and we have developed this project in good faith as members of what ecosystem. We hope that everyone in the community can use and contribute to ELevate, no matter which distro you prefer. That is the open source way.

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 a été utilisé pour migrer des environnements de production dans différentes industries et à travers le monde, mais nous recommandons toujours la prudence. Chaque environnement est différent et unique en fonction des applications et des configurations.
Afin d'éviter toute surprise, nous vous recommandons vivement de tester les scénarios de mise à niveau dans une machine virtuelle ou un bac à sable avant d'exécuter une mise à niveau en production.
Yes, and yes! All your data, applications and settings will be kept. Migrations will require your system to reboot twice.
