# Release Notes For Rocky Linux 9.2

## Major Changes
## Upgrading

You can upgrade from Rocky Lnux 9.x to Rocky Linux 9.2 by doing `sudo dnf -y upgrade`

!!! Note

Rocky Linux does not offer an upgrade path from any version of Rocky Linux 8. We recommend doing a fresh OS install to move to Rocky Linux 9.2.

## Images

As well as the normal install images, there are several images available for new and existing cloud and container platforms.

In addition, images for Oracle Cloud Platform (OCP), GenericCloud, Amazon AWS (EC2), Container RootFS/OCI, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, and other CSP-maintained images are available.

The GenericCloud, EC2, and Azure images now have a variant that uses an LVM partition for the root filesystem, allowing systems administrators additional flexibility and options for configuring their systems, and the GenericCloud image is also available for ppc64le and s390x.

Vagrant images are now available for x86_64 and aarch64, and container images for all 4 arches.

More information on the artifacts produced by the Cloud Special Interest Group, as well as information on how to get involved can be found on the [SIG/Cloud Wiki page](https://sig-cloud.rocky.page/).
