[H2] Answers to Key Questions
[H2]
Who is AlmaLinux OS for?
Anyone that requires an enterprise-grade linux distribution, without the need for a commercial license agreement. AlmaLinux OS is also a perfect replacement for anyone who has historically relied on the CentOS Linux releases to achieve computing objectives, and for whom CentOS Stream is not the right solution.
[H2]
What does binary compatible with RHEL mean?
In July of 2023,
we shifted
our goal from being a downstream rebuild of RHEL to maintaining compatibility with RHEL. That means everything from software applications to kernel modules that work on RHEL will work on AlmaLinux. If not, we consider that a bug.
[H2]
Is AlmaLinux OS FIPS-140 compliant?
AlmaLinux OS 9.2 is FIPS 140-3 validated and on the NIST Active list. Read more in this blog post:
AlmaLinux 9.2 FIPS Validation Update
[H2]
Why did we call it AlmaLinux OS?
Alma means soul in Spanish and other Latin languages. Looking back, it is easy to see that Linux is as popular and pervasive as it is thanks to the efforts of a passionate, diverse developer community. That community is the soul of Linux, and everyone that relies on a Linux distribution is indebted to the efforts of the Linux community. That is why we called our distribution AlmaLinux OS.
[H2]
What motivated us?
The initial backers and supporters for AlmaLinux OS were already extremely active in the enterprise Linux ecosystem, and had significant experience with RHEL forks. They knew the impact that the loss of CentOS Linux would have across all industries, and had the means and knowledge and need to help the community move forward.
[H2]
How is the community protected from future course changes for AlmaLinux OS?
The AlmaLinux OS Foundation is a 501(c)(6) that was founded in March of 2021 to own and manage the AlmaLinux OS project. We have been involving the community since the beginning, and the governing board is chosen by members of the foundation. For as long as our community needs a free operating system in the RHEL ecosystem, AlmaLinux OS will be free and open.
[H2]
I want to convert from CentOS to AlmaLinux OS. How do I do it?
Switching Linux distros can be a headache, but that is not the case when switching from CentOS 8 to AlmaLinux OS. Using
AlmaLinux-deploy
you can migrate to AlmaLinux in-place. If you are coming from CentOS 7, or need to upgrade between major versions,
ELevate
(developed and maintained by the AlmaLinux Community) allows you to migrate to, and upgrade AlmaLinux in-place.
[H2]
Can I really port an entire fleet of servers from CentOS to AlmaLinux OS with a single command?
Since AlmaLinux is binary compatible with RHEL®, your applications and services should be completely interoperable. You can rapidly migrate any number of servers using AlmaLinux-deploy.
If you are using CentOS 7 or 8 and need help upgrading and migrating, check out
ELevate.
[H2]
When will support for AlmaLinux OS 8 and 9 reach end of life?
Each minor version of AlmaLinux reaches end of life when the following minor version is released, but stable and thoroughly tested updates and security patches will be shipped for AlmaLinux OS 8.x until 2029, and AlmaLinux 9.x until 2032.
[H2]
What is AlmaLinux OS Kitten?
It is the direct upstream for AlmaLinux OS 10 and is the primary point for the AlmaLinux community to engage and influence the future of AlmaLinux OS. Fixes and features land here first and trickle down into AlmaLinux OS as appropriate. It is the integration and collaboration point for AlmaLinux to its upstreams as well, such as CentOS Stream and Fedora. You can read more about it: AlmaLinux Kitten OS.
[H2] AlmaLinux OS in the Press
One of the most significant features of AlmaLinux is its
binary compatibility with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).
This compatibility ensures that software developed and tested
on RHEL can be easily deployed on AlmaLinux without
modifications, making it an attractive choice for businesses
seeking a seamless migration path.Frankie Stein @ FILM DAILY - AlmaLinux: A Robust and

ELevate is developed in a distribution agnostic way and is built as a tool for the whole ecosystem, not just AlmaLinux.
The enterprise linux ecosystem is a very large and diverse community, and we have developed this project in good faith as members of that ecosystem.
We hope that everyone in the community can use and contribute to ELevate, no matter which distro you prefer. That is the open source way.

[H2] Answers to Frequent Questions
[H2]
What is ELevate?
ELevate is a project aimed to provide the ability to upgrade between major versions of RHEL-based distributions. First announced by AlmaLinux in 2021, ELevate combines two key components: updates to the open source LEAPP project
and a data library called
leapp-data.
These together allow users to upgrade in-place from an unsupported operating system to a modern operating system, and then from 8 to 9 and 9 to 10 of that operating system.
[H2]
Who is ELevate for?
Individuals and organizations that require an enterprise-grade linux distribution, without the need for a commercial license agreement. AlmaLinux OS is also a perfect replacement for anyone who has historically relied on the CentOS Linux releases to achieve computing objectives, and for whom CentOS Stream is not the right solution.
[H2]
Is ELevate ready for production?
ELevate has been used to migrate production environments across industries and across the world, but we still advise caution.
Every environment is different and unique based on applications and configurations.
To avoid any surprises, we highly recommend that you test upgrade scenarios in a virtual machine or sandbox before running upgrades in production.
[H2]
Will the upgrade be "in-place"? Will it require downtime?
Yes, and yes! All your data, applications and settings will be kept. Migrations will require your system to reboot twice.
[H2]
Why are you supporting migration to other distributions?
Our contributors have been part of the RHEL ecosystem for a very long time, and we recognized that the CentOS ecosystem is a very large and diverse community.
We've developed this project in good faith in the hope that everyone in the community can use and contribute to, no matter which distro you prefer.
That's the open source way.
[H2]
Didn't you used to support migrations to Rocky Linux?
Yes! For the first four years of ELevate, we did support using ELevate to upgrade out of date CentOS installations to Rocky Linux, and migrating between major versions of Rocky Linux. As of the update to ELevate on 2025-11-03, that is no longer supported.With the release of leapp-repository 0.23.0, two big things changed. First, LEAPP now supports CentOS Stream natively, and the LEAPP team accepted a pull request to add AlmaLinux support as well. That significantly reduces the amount of work that we have to maintain in ELevate.
Second, the format of the migration data (the data the describes the package upgrade paths) was changed. That meant that all supported OSes needed to have their migration data updated to retain supporting upgrades.
You can read more
in this blog post,To date, the migration data required for Rocky Linux support has not been contributed.
To help contributors get started,
we have the ELevate contribution guide.
