Linux Platform Update

Red Hat introduced new capabilities and enhancements for its enterprise Linux platform. The company says the update furthers Red Hat Enterprise Linux’s capabilities for the open hybrid cloud, from the data center to the edge.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is at the heart of the company’s edge initiative, which aims to deliver the capabilities of Red Hat’s open hybrid cloud portfolio to edge applications in numerous verticals, including telecommunications, transportation and enterprise devices.

Since edge deployments often rely on Linux containers to make it easier to build, deploy and maintain workloads across various locations, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.4 helps to maintain standardization and control. Version 8.4 adds new functionality to Image Builder, a tool that creates customized, deployable operating systems for a variety of uses.

Expect Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.4 to become available via the company’s customer portal in the coming weeks.
