About Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Red Hat Enterprise Linux is an open-source operating system designed to help businesses across multiple industries deploy workloads, applications, and services on a secure foundation. It offers Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) and mandatory access controls (MAC), which enable enterprises to ensure compliance with various regulations.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux minimizes cases of workload interruptions caused by OS updates and lets organizations create health checks for applications, services, and programs using the Greenboot framework. Information technology (IT) teams can also create custom rpm-ostree images, configure OS content according to requirements and deploy them across on-premise, cloud, or container environments and physical or virtual machines.
The Federal Information Processing Standard 140-2 (FIPS 140-2) and Common Criteria-certified Red Hat Enterprise Linux supports various applications, databases, independent software vendor (ISV) offerings, and machine learning workloads.
