Hello,
I have some data analysis applications running on CentOS 6.4 and 6.6.
Due to these CentOS variants not being supported on the Intel Ice Lake server platform I have to migrate them.
The minimum CentOS variant which works on the Ice Lake is 7.4.
Please can you give me an idea of the migration complexity of moving the applications from 6.4/6.6 to 7.4 or any variant of 7.

This is a very vague question. It's like asking "I have an old car. Can you please tell me if I can drive it on the new motorway?"
Folk can't really help you this way. You need to provide more specific information, such as what language these apps are written in. Are they written in C which is compiled? Has it been statically compiled, or dynamically? What libraries does it link against?
Perhaps the application is in Java, Python, Perl or Ruby. Then it's easier, but again, there may be some gotchas.
Do you have the source code of the applications? If you do, then it's easier to make them work in case modifications are needed. If you don't have the source, then things become trickier.
If the applications won't run under CentOS 7, and you can't modify them, then you might want to consider running them in CentOS 6 containers on a CentOS 7 or 8 host.
But give details, man! Without details, it's all guesswork.
Regards, Anand

Well, they're going to be embarrassed when they get back.
Ah well, as we said the last time this happened, most of us have done worse.
Yeah, well... That's what I get for writing a Google Script to try to automate these things.
I had "centos@centos.org" in my list of addresses to *not* send these auto-responders to, but not "CentOS@centos.org". *sigh*
I've amended the thing so it shouldn't badger anyone who sends me mail with "[CentOS]" in the subject line...or who emails "CentOS@centos.org" instead of "centos@centos.org".
Happy Wednesday!

It's much better to check for certain headers and then never send vacation replies to them, like:
Precedence: list List-Id: CentOS mailing list <centos.centos.org>
Otherwise your rules will fail often.
