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 8.7

Questa versione contiene (in Inglese):

RHEL 8.7 introduces a number of new capabilities, including the ability to view and manage system-wide crypto policies for consistency and reduction of risk, label and optionally encrypt data in sosreports generated in the web console, install only kpatch updates with improved kernel live patching workflow in the web console, download installation media when creating a new virtual machine within the web console, and edit custom firewall services.

Also included are several new RHEL system roles, especially the new Redfish Ansible automation modules, which let customers use the Redfish hardware management interface to control the power state of a system, manage the order of boot devices, manage Redfish accounts and virtual media, and more.

Enhanced capabilities added to RHEL 8.7 helps to simplify how customers manage security and compliance when deploying new systems or managing existing infrastructure. Organizations using Identity Management in RHEL can now take advantage of new Ansible tooling to configure smart card authentication across their entire topology. Additionally, they can now access RHEL systems using identities stored in an external source (such as AWS, Azure, Google, and more).

RHEL now gives you more time to plan your life cycle needs by supporting upgrade paths for two-year EUS periods. Leapp now supports in-place upgrades from RHEL 7.9 to 8.4 or 8.6, 8.6 to 9.0, and 8.8 to 9.2 (when these releases ship next year). This allows for a full two years to understand and plan for your upgrades. And Convert2RHEL now supports more flexible simultaneous landing releases (for example, from CentOS Linux 7.9 to RHEL 7.9, from CentOS Linux 8.4 to RHEL 8.4, and from CentOS Linux 8.5 to RHEL 8.5).
