You can update RHEL AI to the latest version.

Prerequisites

You have created a Red Hat registry account.
You have root user access on the host.

Procedure

$ sudo podman login registry.redhat.io --username <USER_NAME> --password <PASSWORD> --authfile /etc/ostree/auth.json

$ sudo skopeo login registry.redhat.io --username <USER_NAME> --password <PASSWORD> --authfile /etc/ostree/auth.json

Update to the latest minor version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI by using the relevant bootc image for your machine, for example:
```
$ sudo bootc switch registry.redhat.io/rhelai1/bootc-cuda-rhel9:{product-version}
```
1. Copy the /etc/skel/.config/containers/storage.conf storage configuration to your <USER_HOME>/.config/containers/storage.conf home directory before re-initializing. Run the following command:
