<div class="PlainText">Hello Eric<br>
<br>
Just a few commentaries:<br>
<br>
CentOS 9 Stream can be used as a server, but it is not recommended for<br>
production environments. CentOS Stream is a rolling release<br>
distribution, which means that new features and bug fixes are released<br>
frequently. This can make it difficult to maintain a stable server<br>
environment with CentOS Stream. Maybe you should consider Rocky Linux,<br>
AlmaLinux or a subscription to RHEL 9 if you want to stay with a RH<br>
based system or debian/ubuntu to host a production system.<br>
<br>
Another recommendation is to do the installation in parallel, prepare<br>
all the configuration (ansible and git is very recommended) and make<br>
tests. Once the new system is OK, you only need to change the IPs (or<br>
rules on the firewall) to redirect the traffic to the new server. This<br>
will avoid downtimes and will give you more time to do a good<br>
job/configuration.<br>
<br>
And the last one, you (or the person who will make the upgrade for<br>
you) should consider using the RPM packages and yum auto-update. With<br>
this, you can have the system always updated with the last security<br>
fixes.<br>
<br>
I believe that is all.<br>
<br>
Good luck and let us know how the migration goes.<br>
