More on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9

Existing customers may migrate Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscriptions to the cloud of their choice with Red Hat Cloud Access. Meanwhile, any organization looking to adopt public cloud will be able to deploy the platform on-demand from major cloud provider marketplaces, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, IBM Cloud and Microsoft Azure.

Red Hat designed Enterprise Linux 9 with edge computing in mind. To that point, key capabilities include:

•   Edge management, delivered as a service, for operating remote deployments with more security and control.

•   Automatic container roll-back with Podman, Red Hat Enterprise Linux’s integrated container management technology. This feature automatically detects whether a newly updated container fails to start. If that happens, Podman then rolls the container back to the previous working version.

•   Support for image creation for customized filesystems and major cloud providers and virtualization technologies, including AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure and VMware.

•   Protections against hardware-level security vulnerabilities such as Spectre and Meltdown, plus ability to create memory areas that are inaccessible to potentially malicious code

•   Support for PCI-DSS, HIPAA and more.

•   Ability to detect rogue infrastructure modifications, so it’s easier to limit the potential for systems compromise.

•   More Red Hat Enterprise Linux System Roles for automated workflow for creating specific system configurations.

•   More roles for Postfix, high-availability clusters, firewall, Microsoft SQL Server, web console and more.

•   Support for kernel live patching from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux web console.
