Offline upgrade of SLES12SP4 to SLES15SP1 on Azure

Hello,
Is it possible to do upgrade to SLES15SP1 on Azure PAYG image?
I think we would be able to boot via GRUB into the installation media and use DVD from local disk, but how can we then switch the Azure repositories to SLES15?
In case of online upgrade (e.g. SLES12SP4 to SP5) the “zypper migrate” should take care of the repositories, but what in case of offline upgrade?

Hi,

for this case exactly we’re offering the so called “Distribution Migration System” which provides an easy way to upgrade. See this blog post for the details:
