Hi Vladimir,

Cannot say anything about 1st option, which is to use official Centos
scripts,
because I'm not familiar with the procedure, but since our installation is
not
really Centos, I have doubts that it's going to work correctly.

2nd option looks less risky. Also we should decide when to run containers
upgrade + host upgrade? Before or after new CentOS is installed? Probably
it should be done before we run backup, in order to get the latest scripts
for
backup/restore actions.

Thanks,
