FYDesigns Server Upgrade: Transitioning from CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux

At FYDesigns, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of performance, security, and reliability for our clients. As part of our continuous efforts to enhance our infrastructure, we are in the process of upgrading our servers from CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux.

Why the Upgrade?

CentOS 7 has been a reliable operating system, but with its end-of-life approaching, it is essential to transition to a more sustainable and future-proof solution. AlmaLinux, a community-driven, open-source enterprise-grade operating system, is our chosen successor. This upgrade ensures that our servers remain secure, efficient, and supported for years to come.

Benefits of AlmaLinux

Stability and Security: AlmaLinux offers long-term support and regular security updates, ensuring that our infrastructure is protected against vulnerabilities and threats.


  • Enterprise-Grade Performance: Designed for high-performance and enterprise-grade reliability, AlmaLinux provides the robust environment necessary to support our clients' demanding applications and websites.
    Seamless Transition: AlmaLinux is a one-to-one binary compatible fork of RHEL, making the transition from CentOS 7 smooth and straightforward, with minimal disruption to our services.

Our Upgrade Process

We have meticulously planned the upgrade process to ensure a seamless transition with minimal impact on our clients. Our team of experts is executing the migration in phases, carefully testing each step to guarantee compatibility and performance. Here’s what you can expect during this transition:

  • 1. Preparation and Planning: Detailed assessment and planning to ensure all applications and services are ready for the upgrade.
    2. Testing and Validation: Rigorous testing in a controlled environment to validate compatibility and performance.
    3. Gradual Rollout: Phased rollout of the upgrade to minimize downtime and ensure a smooth transition.
    4. Continuous Monitoring: Ongoing monitoring and support to address any issues promptly and ensure optimal performance.

Commitment to Excellence

At FYDesigns, our clients’ success is our top priority. This server upgrade is part of our commitment to providing the best possible infrastructure to support your digital needs. By upgrading to AlmaLinux, we are ensuring that our services remain reliable, secure, and capable of supporting your business growth.


We are excited about the benefits this upgrade will bring to our clients and look forward to continuing to deliver top-tier web solutions with enhanced performance and security.
