第3章 About updating RPMs manually
Updating Red Hat build of MicroShift for non-OSTree systems such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) requires updating the RPMs. For patch releases, such as 4.17.1 to 4.17.2, simply update the RPMs. For minor-version release updates, add the step of enabling the update repository using your subscription manager.
You can back up application data as needed and move the data copy to a secure location when using any update type.
