Services
You can now perform major Linux OS version upgrades — without disabling Azure Site Recovery, interrupting their replication, or losing existing recovery points. This is supported on RHEL and SLES. (e.g. update from RHEL 8 to RHEL 9). This simplifies the OS upgrade lifecycle and eliminates downtime in disaster recovery posture. This feature is currently available for Azure-to-Azure (A2A) disaster recovery scenario.
