From bare-metal servers and Linux containers to
public and private clouds, the world’s leading enterprise Linux
platform drives new levels of intelligence, automation and
developer productivity, delivering a more consistent business
foundation
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced the general availability of Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 8, the operating system designed to span the
breadth of deployments across enterprise IT. For any workload
running on any environment, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 delivers one
enterprise Linux experience to meet the unique technology needs of
evolving enterprises. From deploying new Linux workloads into
production to launching digital transformation strategies, the
next-generation enterprise is built on top of the world’s leading
enterprise Linux platform.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 is the operating system redesigned
for the hybrid cloud era and built to support the workloads and
operations that stretch from enterprise datacenters to multiple
public clouds. Red Hat understands that the operating system should
do more than simply exist as part of a technology stack; it should
be the catalyst for innovation. From Linux containers and hybrid
cloud to DevOps and artificial intelligence (AI), Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 8 is built to not just support enterprise IT in
the hybrid cloud, but to help these new technology strategies
thrive.
As the importance of hybrid cloud and multicloud deployments
grow, the operating system must evolve as well. According to IDC1,
70 percent of customers already deploy multicloud environments and
64 percent of applications in a typical IT portfolio today are
based in a cloud environment, whether public or private. Red Hat
views the operating system as the keystone to this IT innovation
and more, especially as Red Hat Enterprise Linux is poised to
impact more than $10 trillion in global business revenues in 20192,
according to a Red Hat-sponsored IDC study.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8: Intelligent Linux for the hybrid
cloud
For more than 15 years, Red Hat has helped enterprises innovate
on Linux, first in their datacenters and now across the hybrid
cloud. As datacenters grow in scale and scope and workload
complexity builds, the skills required to deploy and maintain
Linux-based production systems become increasingly critical. With
the announcement of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, this intelligence
and expertise is now built-in to Red Hat Enterprise Linux
subscriptions by default with Red Hat Insights, delivering
Red Hat’s Linux expertise as-a-service.
Red Hat Insights helps proactively identify and remediate IT
issues, from security vulnerabilities to stability problems. It
uses predictive analytics based on Red Hat’s vast knowledge of open
technologies to help administrators avoid problems and unplanned
downtime in production environments.
Managing systems dispersed across a variety of on-premise and
cloud-based infrastructure can present a significant challenge to
IT organizations. Red Hat Smart Management, a layered add-on
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, helps IT teams gain the benefits of
hybrid cloud computing while minimizing its inherent management
complexities. Combining Red Hat Satellite for on-premise systems
management and cloud management services for distributed Red Hat
Enterprise Linux deployments, Red Hat Smart Management provides
rich capabilities to manage, patch, configure and provision Red Hat
Enterprise Linux deployments across the hybrid cloud.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8: Blazing a faster path to modern
applications
To meet evolving business demands, IT organizations are looking
to new workloads, from artificial intelligence (AI) to the
Internet-of-Things (IoT), to drive competitive advantages in
crowded marketplaces. Linux provides the innovative muscle to power
these differentiated services, but only Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8
delivers this innovation along with a hardened code base, extensive
security updates, award-winning support and a vast ecosystem of
tested and validated supporting technologies.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux has always been known as a stable and
secure foundation for applications. However, in the past it was
hard to get the most up-to-date languages and frameworks that
developers wanted without compromising that stability. Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 8 introduces Application Streams -
fast-moving languages, frameworks and developer tools are updated
frequently in this stream without impacting the core resources that
have made Red Hat Enterprise Linux an enterprise benchmark. This
melds faster developer innovation with production stability in a
single, enterprise-class operating system.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8: Introducing a world of
opportunity for everyone
Linux continues to be the number one operating system for
developers building the next generation of enterprise applications.
As these applications move into production, stability, enhanced
security and testing/certification on existing hardware and
environments become paramount needs. This shifts the onus from
developers to operations teams and, paired with the trend of Linux
being looked to as a primary platform for production applications,
makes Linux administration and management skills critical for
modern datacenters. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 is designed to lower
the barrier to entry for Linux, enabling greater accessibility for
Windows administrators, Linux beginners and new systems
administrators without fear of the command line.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 abstracts away many of the deep
complexities of granular sysadmin tasks behind the Red Hat
Enterprise Linux web console. The console provides an
intuitive, consistent graphical interface for managing and
monitoring Red Hat Enterprise Linux system, from the health of
virtual machines to overall system performance. To further improve
ease of use, Red Hat Enterprise Linux supports in-place upgrades,
providing a more streamlined, efficient and timely path for users
to convert Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 instances to Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 8 systems.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 also includes Red Hat Enterprise
Linux System Roles, which automate many of the more complex
tasks around managing and configuring Linux in production. Powered
by Red Hat Ansible Automation, System Roles are pre-configured
Ansible modules that enable ready-made automated workflows for
handling common, complex sysadmin tasks. This automation makes it
easier for new systems administrators to adopt Linux protocols and
helps to eliminate human error as the cause of common configuration
issues.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux: Enabling the world of possibilities
without sacrificing security
IT innovation is rooted in open source, with Linux often serving
as the catalyst for major advancements in enterprise technology,
from Linux containers and Kubernetes to serverless and AI. Backed
by a more secure, hardened open source supply chain, Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 8 helps pave the way for IT organizations to adopt
production-ready innovation by deploying only the necessary
packages for specific workloads. This enhances the adoption of
emerging technologies while helping to minimize potential risk.
To enhance security, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 supports the
OpenSSL 1.1.1 and TLS 1.3 cryptographic standards. This
provides access to some of the strongest, latest standards in
cryptographic protection that can be implemented system-wide via a
single command, limiting the need for application-specific policies
and tuning.
With cloud-native applications and services frequently driving
digital transformation, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 delivers full
support for the Red Hat container toolkit. Based on open
standards, the toolkit provides technologies for creating, running
and sharing containerized applications. It helps to streamline
container development and eliminates the need for bulky, less
secure container daemons.
Every datacenter. Every cloud. Every application.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 drives a thriving partner ecosystem,
as is expected of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, encompassing thousands
of certified applications, Linux container images, hardware
configurations and cloud providers. Building on the deep
collaborations forged by Red Hat with other IT leaders and through
extensive testing, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 drives added value
for specific hardware configurations and workloads, including the
Arm and POWER architectures as well as real-time applications and
SAP solutions.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 forms the foundation for Red Hat’s
entire hybrid cloud portfolio, starting with Red Hat OpenShift
Container Platform 4 and the upcoming Red Hat OpenStack Platform
15. Also built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 is the forthcoming Red
Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS, a minimal footprint operating system
designed to host Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform
deployments.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 is also broadly supported as a guest
operating system on Red Hat hybrid cloud infrastructure, including
Red Hat OpenShift 4, Red Hat OpenStack Platform 15 and Red Hat
Virtualization 4.3.
The launch of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 also coincides with the
general availability of the Red Hat Universal Base Image, a
userspace image derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux for building
Red Hat certified Linux containers. The Red Hat Universal Base
Image is available to all developers with or without a Red Hat
Enterprise Linux subscription, providing a more secure and reliable
foundation for building enterprise-ready containerized
applications. Applications built with the Universal Base Image can
be run anywhere with the benefits of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux
life cycle and support from Red Hat when run on Red Hat Enterprise
Linux or Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.
