We'd like to announce that ELevate project now supports upgrades from 8.x to 9.x within your chose distrubution! Visually, you can see ELevate supports the following migration directions: ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/H1doNKven.png) \* - migration to CentOS Stream 9 is currently in process and will be available later. \** - migration to Oracle Linux 9 is available with the [Oracle Leapp utility](https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/post/upgrade-oracle-linux-8-to-oracle-linux-9-using-leapp) and will not be supported by ELevate project. As usual, this is a simple reminder to make sure you have backups and/or snapshots of your system before you proceed. It is recommended to do a trial run in a sandbox to verify that migration worked as expected before you attempt to migrate any production system.
