1.4. Leapp upgrade usage in Red Hat OpenStack Platform
The long-life Red Hat OpenStack Platform upgrade requires a base operating system upgrade from Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.4 to RHEL 9.2. The upgrade process uses the Leapp utility to perform the upgrade to RHEL 9.2. However, some aspects of the Leapp upgrade are customized to ensure that you are upgrading specifically from RHEL 8.4 to RHEL 9.2. To upgrade your operating system to RHEL 9.2, see Performing the undercloud system upgrade.
