<center>openSUSE Leap 15.3 & SLE 15 SP3</center>
</h2>
<p style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">Starting with SP3, we are now offering packages pre-built binaries from SLE in addition to the
sources we were previously providing to openSUSE. This means that openSUSE Leap and SUSE Linux
Enterprise are closer together than before, thus easing the migration from openSUSE Leap to SLES.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;"><a href="https://www.suse.com/c/how-suse-builds-its-enterprise-linux-distribution-part-5/" style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">This article</a>
will tell you more about how openSUSE and SLE was made in the past years but also the important
changes with openSUSE Leap 15.3 and SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 Service Pack 3.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">You can find our documentation about the migration from <a href="https://susedoc.github.io/doc-sle/main/single-html/SLES-upgrade/#sec-upgrade-online-leap-to-sle" style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">here</a>,
but also on the <a href="https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:How_to_migrate_to_SLE" style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">openSUSE wiki</a>.</p>
