Red Hat Insights, Red Hat’s predictive analytics service for identifying and remediating potential system issues, is available by default through almost all Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscriptions. The updated platform extends Red Hat Insights services, builds on existing container management capabilities and makes it easier for IT teams to set up workload-specific systems wherever they may exist across a multicloud world. Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.5 is designed to offer this backbone, building on Red Hat’s 20+ years of Linux expertise for an innovative platform that spans public cloud providers, multiple hardware architectures, virtualized environments and edge computing models. This makes a common Linux foundation, tailored for the rigors of traditional datacenters as well as the complexities of multicloud and edge computing deployments, a necessity for digital transformation. At the same time, Gartner predicts that by 2026, “public cloud spending will exceed 45% of all enterprise IT spending, up from less than 17% in 2021.” 1 Red Hat has long championed a hybrid multicloud world, where customers can make the vision of any application, anywhere, a reality by choosing the right environment and technologies that build on a flexible, more consistent foundation.
Recent studies indicate that organizations are realizing that using public cloud exclusively may not be economically feasible for long-term scale. General manager, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.5 reinforces the role of the world’s leading enterprise Linux platform in the multicloud ecosystem, providing new capabilities to meet evolving and complex IT needs, from enhanced cloud-native container innovations to extending Linux skills with system roles, on whatever footprint our customers require.
