This allows the entire team to use Red Hat Cloud Access for simplified deployment and maintenance of RHEL on well-known cloud providers, including AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.Ĭonsidering the previous public outrage about CentOS 8's early demise, we reached out to Red Hat for clarification regarding availability guarantees-specifically, whether any guarantee was given that the terms of the free small-production use will stay valid for the length of general support for the RHEL version they cover. Moving forward, subscribing RHEL customers can add entire dev teams to the developer subscription program at no cost.
Red Hat is also expanding the availability of developer subscriptions to teams, as well as individual users. This access to no-cost production RHEL is by way of the newly expanded Red Hat Developer Subscription program, and it comes with no strings-in Red Hat's words, "this isn't a sales program, and no sales representative will follow up." New no-cost, low-cost, and simplified RHEL accessĪs of February 1, 2021, Red Hat will make RHEL available at no cost for small-production workloads-with "small" defined as 16 systems or fewer.
CentOS Stream is the continuously delivered platform that becomes the next minor version of RHEL.Fedora Linux is the place for major new operating system innovations, thoughts, and ideas-essentially, this is where the next major version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux is.To summarize: we're making CentOS Stream the collaboration hub for RHEL, with the landscape looking like this: This week, Red Hat clarifies the broad strokes as follows: Red Hat's December announcement of CentOS Stream-which it initially billed as a "replacement" for CentOS Linux-left many users confused about its role in the updated Red Hat ecosystem. Red Hat's early termination of CentOS 8 in 2021 cut eight of those 10 years away, leaving thousands of users stranded. Long-standing tradition-and ambiguity in Red Hat's posted terms-led users to believe that CentOS 8 would be available until 2029, just like the RHEL 8 it was based on. In applying these skills, you will be able to perform fundamental operational tasks, whether your Linux machine is on your desk or on a remote system across the Internet.Further Reading CentOS Linux is dead-and Red Hat says Stream is “not a replacement”Last month, Red Hat caused a lot of consternation in the enthusiast and small business Linux world when it announced the discontinuation of CentOS Linux. And, if you use Windows, you'll need to interoperate with Linux.Īfter completing this course, you will have a solid introduction to working with Linux from the command line, using Red Hat Enterprise Linux as a model. If you're working with mobile applications or the Internet of Things, it is also likely that the operating system of your device is based on Linux. If you're working in the cloud, your cloud instances may be based on Linux, and your private or public cloud environment is also probably based on Linux. For example, if you are developing applications, it's likely your application or its runtime is hosted on Linux. If you are looking for new opportunities in IT, Linux skills are in high demand. There are many reasons why it is valuable for you to learn Linux. You’ll find Linux running smart TVs, in-flight entertainment systems, and most of the top supercomputers in the world. Linux systems are used everywhere-the internet, point-of-sale systems, and the world's stock markets. You will be introduced to reasons why Linux and the open source development model are so important in today's computing environment. It will show you how a Linux system is organized, and will demonstrate introductory system administration tasks, which you will be able to practice on your own. This course will provide you with a basic introduction to Linux® skills using Red Hat® Enterprise Linux.
