CentOS - Nov 2020 - Update from 7 to 8

I stumbled on this today.
https://www.hostwinds.com/guide/upgrading-from-centos-7-to-8/

I understand the best is always a re-install.... But are these steps the
next best thing to update from 7 to 8 ?

Thanks,

Jerry

Jerry,

There is a formally supported upgrade from RHEL 7 to 8, but
unfortunately there is none for CentOS 7 to 8. The reason for this is
based on the totally new repository structure Red Hat used for v8. It's
different enough that an exact counterpart to the RHEL 7>8 upgrade
script hasn't been compiled, tested, and supported. Your only choice is
to back up everything and install CentOS 8 from scratch.
