My c7 days are quite a way behind but I don't remember it did no work. c8s & c9s I've been doing up-dates/grades in place for a long time and sure I might have seen some glitches - but by intent packages are ready to upgrade already deployed IPA - but that goes for any software. Then, usual best-practices - however you worked out those - such as backups, apply, how you control & order IPA packages upgrades, etc. IPA has own 'ipa-server-upgrade' which is part of packages/version upgrade process(es) Fedora's IPA stack works okey as it does on Centos - which Centos is Fedora pretty much, only back-dated/ported at it's core. Centos 9 which I've been riding for long time is great, been updating IPA since c9s release - in fact I've recently, though for different reasons, migrated IPA into containers which are Fedoras - no problems. regards, L.

I think more adequate is, as they call it, 'rolling/on' release or point-release-update, rather then in-place updates, which was a bit confusing. I'd suggest containers as a way out if it, perhaps VMs if can afford resource-wise. Sure containers are also subject to generally understood "up-grade/date" but might be easier to manage in this & migrate to/over respects - I'm inclined to claim.
