CloudLinux has enhanced its Elevate functionality to include Plesk, allowing users to upgrade CloudLinux 7 systems running Plesk to CloudLinux 8 seamlessly. Here’s everything you need to know about this new capability and how it can benefit your server environment.

CloudLinux is pleased to announce the support for ELevating CloudLinux 7 systems with DirectAdmin. This new feature simplifies the upgrade process, aligning it with the no-panel process for seamless transitions. Below are the detailed steps to elevate your CloudLinux 7 to CloudLinux 8.

CloudLinux has an ongoing commitment to supporting the diverse virtualization needs of its clients. In a significant update, CloudLinux is now officially providing support for Virtuozzo and OpenVZ containers, reversing a previous decision to limit support to hypervisors only. 

The CL Elevate process on systems with cPanel has been temporarily disabled due to an issue with retrieving packages from CLN channels. This problem, if encountered, would halt the upgrade process, leaving the system in a half-functional state unless reverted to a pre-upgrade state.

We are announcing the end of life for CloudLinux OS 6 (CL6) on June 30th, 2024. Here are the key points regarding our updated strategy:

The gradual rollout of the rollout slot-6 for the packages  

cagefs-7.6.14-1, alt-python27-cllib-3.4.6-1, lvemanager-7.11.6-1, cagefs-7.6.14-2 was paused due to the bug CLOS-2760.

The gradual rollout of the rollout slot-5 for the package governor-mysql@1.2-111, governor-mysql@1.2-112 was paused due to issues with installing governor-mysql@1.2-112 , which fixes the CLOS-2705 bug.

The cldeploy script has been updated to version 1.109, bringing a crucial enhancement for CloudLinux users.

As you might know, CloudLinux 7 will reach End-of-Life (EOL) support on June 30, 2024. For those who are not ready to migrate, we'll continue to provide security fixes for the foreseeable future in the range of ELS program.

The gradual rollout of the rollout slot-5 for the package governor-mysql@1.2-111 was paused due to a minor bug in getting email messages from cron:
