They\u2019re very costly in both time and hardware. While many folks strive to create repeatable builds of systems, this is no small task when it comes to a cPanel &amp; WHM server. We support varied customer and user bases; the product provides a broad range of configurations and software to both the server owner and the server user.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To upgrade from one distribution to another usually involves wiping a server and rebuilding it from the ground up or purchasing another server and migrating the data at additional cost.&nbsp; This forces a company to choose between living with an OS distribution that may no longer be the best choice for their business needs or going through a laborious upgrade process that may involve lengthy outages.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cPanel ELevate tool is designed to facilitate <em>in-place upgrades<\/em> between major versions of RHEL-based distributions.&nbsp;&nbsp; cPanel, L.L.C. has added custom tools to the ELevate tool chest that facilitate the cPanel &amp; WHM aspects of the server upgrade process. This improvement of the server upgrade process presents a best-of-both-worlds scenario for sysadmins and infrastructure decision-makers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Danger, Will Robinson!<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please understand that the cPanel ELevate tool is currently under heavy development (beta\/experimental). Centos 7 isn\u2019t set to reach end-of-life (EOL) for another 2 years, but we wanted to start the feedback loop early so that customers will have a safe and easy way to transition from CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux 8 when that time comes.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For More Information On The cPanel ELevate Project<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cpanel.github.io\/elevate\/whitepaper\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">This white paper<\/a> is a high-level discussion of the cPanel ELevate process intended to provide decision-makers with the information they need to evaluate ELevating their cPanel &amp;
