    • One Shot: Upgrade Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 to Oracle Linux 8

      For organizations focused on cost control, Oracle product integration, and future-proofing their Linux strategy against vendor dependency, Oracle Linux (bolstered by the OpenELA initiative) offers several compelling business advantages over Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). The combination of free access, stable open source backing, enterprise-grade support, and interoperability provides a resilient foundation for enterprise workloads.

      Thanks to the collaboration of different partners used to work with us on Oracle Linux, I'm glad to share one great guide that shows how to upgrade, in one shot, from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 to Oracle Linux 8. The example leverages Leapp and Elevate open source projects to execute migration and upgrade in one single step.
