The Leapp utility simplifies updating Oracle Linux 7 systems to Oracle Linux 8 with a single, comprehensive upgrade tool. The Upgrade Oracle Linux with Leapp Luna lab is a free opportunity to practice using Leapp to update an Oracle Linux 7 system to Oracle Linux 8. In this lab, you can continue to upgrade that same system to Oracle Linux 9.

  • Check and modify prerequisite system settings for the upgrade
  • Run a Leapp preupgrade check to verify the Oracle Linux 7 system is ready for upgrade to Oracle Linux 8
  • Use Leapp to perform an upgrade of the Oracle Linux 7 system to Oracle Linux 8
  • Prepare the same system again for upgrade to Oracle Linux 9
  • Use Leapp to upgrade the new Oracle Linux 8 system to Oracle Linux 9
