Hello,

I would like to put on debate which is the proper way to upgrade images to 
different OS releases.

For example, I have this images on my system:

centos7.4-x86_64-install-compute  (osimage)
centos7.4-x86_64-netboot-compute  (osimage)
centos7.4-x86_64-statelite-compute  (osimage)

Those are generated by the copycds command, I only use the netboot one. As you 
can see it was generated from a CentOS 7.4 DVD.

Now we are on the 7.5 days and I would like to upgrade this images to 7.5.

I can just issue an yum with installroot argument and fire up an upgrade. But 
this would properly update the image?

If yes, the naming would became confusing, since the image has gone to 7.5 but 
the name stays 7.4.

Someone may say that I need to reimport the images with copycds once again, but 
doing this, I will lose all the customisations of the image and software 
installed.

So, what’s the right procedure? What I’m missing?

Thanks,
