Hi,
I'm running EFA on the Centos 7 ISO, and I would like to upgrade to Centos 8. Will this break EFA?
Btw, I love EFA, thanks for all the effort guys.

Hi
there is no direct upgrade from CentOS 7 to CentOS8. So you need to save the config and your customization and migrate to a new VM.
at least not an official one.

But you can make a snapshot of your EFA and fall back if it fails, assuming you are using a VM.
Yours

OK, thanks for your reply. I will give it a go, but, as far as I can see, a CentOS dist-upgrade is not as seamless as for instance Ubuntu.

Centos/RedHat has never tried to provide an upgrade path between major versions.
