Once you have kea installed, follow the Kea documentation here:
https://kea.readthedocs.io/en/kea-2.2.0/

Is there any reason to avoid kea-2.3? I've been using 2.1.7 on CentOS 7
and am about to migrate my config to a Rocky 8 server.

I would recommend, if possible, to update straight to Rocky 9, or
better, since you are on CentOS, to CentOS Stream 9.

Otherwise you'll have to upgrade again in ~18 month, when Rocky 8
(CentOS Stream 8) goes EOL. Kea is available for el9 from EPEL (version
2.2.0).

I just wanted to clarify that Rocky Linux (and Alma Linux) follow RHEL, not
CentOS Stream, so you have 10 years of support.

Since RHEL 8, Red Hat offers 5 years of full support and another 5 years of maintenance support [1]. I'm no expert on the difference, but to my understanding only high priority issues will be fixed at Red Hat's discretion during maintenance support. The last minor release of RHEL 8, which marks the end of full support, is scheduled for May 2024 [2].

So, yeah, I was wrong saying RHEL 8 is going EOL in May 2024. But since RHEL 9 is already out, I'd go with that. In the same fashion I will shortly upgrade from Fedora 35 to 37, skipping 36.

Since CentOS Stream is a different beast all together, Rocky 9 (or any other RHEL clone version 9) would be my choice when upgrading from CentOS 7. For a fresh install, I'd definitely consider CentOS Stream 9.
