If you mean upgrade to all CentOS-7 point releases, yes (from source code for RHEL-7.0 to RHEL-7.1, to RHEL-7.2). If you mean from CentOS-7 to CentOS-8, there is no way to know. There is no RHEL-8 to look at. Red Hat has source code for preupgrade-assistant and redhat-upgrade-tool. That is created for inplace upgrades from one major version to another. Currently those tools are community and maintained and they are several updates behind because currently no one in the community has stepped up to maintain them. But, CentOS-7 has an EOL of June 30, 2024 .. so there is security updates for 8 more years.
