Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Red Hat Enterprise Linux è una distribuzione Linux per ambienti di produzione, basata su soluzioni con software open source, che fornisce un ampio supporto ai clienti. La controparte free sponsorizzata da Red Hat è data dal progetto Fedora, dove vengono sperimentate nuove soluzioni che poi potranno venir adottate in RHEL.

Versione 8.4

Questa versione contiene (in Inglese):

RHEL 8.4 comes with the Container Tools 3.0 AppStream, which contains newer versions of Podman, Buildah, Skopeo and runc.

Podman now has support in RHEL for auto-updating container images, which allows Podman to poll to see if containers have been updated and pull new images and use systemd to restart them if there is a new image.

This release also sees the addition of the Red Hat Universal Base Image (UBI) micro image. This is the smallest UBI offering that omits package management from the image itself, but can rely on a package manager on the underlying RHEL host to install packages.

Naturally, we have introduced new AppStreams for our customers with 8.4, including Python 3.9, Redis 6, PostgreSQL 13, MariaDB 10.5 as well as GCC 10, LLVM 11, Rust 1.49 and Go 1.15.7.

Intel Tiger Lake GPUs are now supported in RHEL 8.4, which includes Intel UHD graphics and Intel Xe integrated GPUs.

RHEL 8.4 introduces two new system roles. First, a new Reliable Event Logging Protocol (RELP) system role for forwarding or receiving rsyslog log messages with RELP. We also have introduced an SSH Client system role to help configure RHEL SSH in a consistent and stable manner for SSH servers and clients.

Many of these enhancements and features (and more) will be covered in more detail in upcoming posts on the Red Hat Blog.
