You can't update, because CentOS 8 was end of life by the end of 2021. You'll need to migrate your installation to a supported operating system, e.g. using Plesk Migrator. Supported operating systems can be found here: Software Requirements for Plesk Obsidian

Thank you for your reply.
You mean I have to purchase a new VPS with ubuntu 22.04 ?
Or I can change the CentOS 8 from my VPS to ubuntu 22.04 ?
Please help me, I am not a PRO in VPS.
Thank your for your help.

There are many tutorials on YouTube about migrating a CentOS 8 server to Almalinux 8.
Search on YouTube for: centos to almalinux migration

Creating a snapshot of a VPS is something your provider should be able to help you with.
