Red Hat Linux

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is specifically tailored for enterprise environments, providing a reliable and scalable platform for mission-critical applications.

RHEL follows a subscription-based model with long-term support (typically around 10 years) for each major release. Subscribers receive access to updates, security patches, and technical support.

RHEL places a strong emphasis on security. Features include Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux), which provides mandatory access controls, and regular security updates.

RHEL uses the Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) for package management. The yum package manager (and its successor, dnf) is commonly used for installing, updating, and managing software packages.

RHEL supports a wide range of hardware architectures, and its kernel is optimized for performance, stability, and compatibility.

RHEL is available in both desktop and server editions. The server edition is often used for running enterprise applications, while the desktop edition provides a Linux environment for end-users.

RHEL integrates technologies such as Docker for containerization and Kubernetes for container orchestration, enabling the deployment and management of containerized applications.

Red Hat offers a comprehensive ecosystem of products and solutions, including Red Hat OpenShift (for container orchestration), Red Hat Virtualization (for virtualization), and Red Hat Ansible (for automation).

RHEL is widely certified and supported by various hardware and software vendors. It has partnerships with major technology providers to ensure compatibility and interoperability.
