Hands-on conversion of CentOS to RHEL
summary
Open-source Convert2RHEL converts a CentOS 8 or Oracle Linux box to RHEL 8 by enabling RHEL repos, installing subscription-manager, replacing packages (including the kernel) and requiring a reboot; the demo runs as a single command or non-interactively via Ansible. It uses the no-cost Red Hat Developer Subscription for Individuals (up to 16 systems), implements rollback up to a point of no return, and notes a UEFI manual-fix gap; the conversion in the demo completes successfully on a Vagrant VM.
