License fee pressure
SUSE renewal costs keep rising — and your budget just got cut again.
Dependency lock-in
Your critical apps (SAP, custom RPMs) were built for SLES. Rebuilding feels risky.
Cutover risk
You need to migrate, but a big-bang cutover could break production workflows.
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server → Rocky Linux migration — your questions answered
How do you handle YaST configuration dependencies during migration?+
We assess your YaST configs and dependencies, then script OS-level changes. Our engineers work alongside your team to preserve settings while rebuilding on Rocky Linux.
Will custom RPM packages compiled against SUSE libraries work on Rocky Linux?+
Yes — they are actively maintained. For SLES-specific apps (e.g., older SAP components), we keep them on SLES under vendor support until they're migrated. No forced cutover.
What happens to our SLES support during a phased migration?+
SLES stays under your existing vendor support contract until it expires. If the renewal lapses during migration, our third-party support covers most operational issues on SLES while you complete the move. It does not include vendor patches, so we recommend keeping vendor support active.
How long does a sles to Rocky migration take?+
2-5 months, with 2-3 senior consultants. Projects range $40,000–$300,000 depending on environment complexity.
