CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux 8 Migration Using ELevate – Dubbed!

Now with narration to help explain the process! Demo of a CentOS 7.x Migration to AlmaLinux 8.x migration using the software and data provided by the AlmaLinux ELevate Project. ELevate is an initiative to develop the toolset and dataset to enable migrations between major version of RHEL-derivative distributions. ELevate works using the open source Leapp tool originally developed by Red Hat along with package metadata from the Package Evolution Service (PES) which allows anyone to contribute, upload and download subsets of migration metdata for packages.
