Hybrid cloud with Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Overview
Open hybrid cloud is an approach to cloud computing that allows companies to take advantage of their existing hybrid IT, while setting themselves up for future advances in technology and expanding into the public cloud. The evolving reality of hybrid cloud computing demands both the stability to consistently meet business and customer needs and the flexibility to quickly innovate on any footprint. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is that stable foundation for innovation.
Red Hat has partnerships with every major cloud provider and thousands of hardware, software and service providers, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux is certified for use with all major cloud providers and cloud marketplaces, including Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, IBM Cloud, and Alibaba cloud.

Features and benefits
Develop for the cloud
Red Hat Enterprise Linux delivers easy access to reliable OS images in the cloud as well as the toolchains, libraries, container tools, and runtimes needed to streamline the path from development to production. Updates delivered via application streams enable developers and IT architects to experiment while still maintaining earlier versions of production applications, developed on the same platform where they’ll be tested and deployed.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux container tools
Delivering integrated container tools such as Podman, Buildah, and Skopeo, and secure base images, Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a consistent yet flexible host to power container adoption anywhere you choose to deploy. Certified language runtime containers support more use cases to meet evolving development needs.
Visibility across your environment
Standardizing on Red Hat Enterprise Linux across your IT infrastructure improves security, eases operational burdens, and reduces costs. Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides streamlined OS management with automated, repeatable workflows, intuitive web-based administration, and consistent OS administration across infrastructure types.
Image builder for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
The Image Builder tool in Red Hat Enterprise Linux lets you create customized Red Hat Enterprise Linux images, save them as templates, and push them to multiple cloud provider inventories. This helps solve provisioning and migration challenges common to disconnected environments, while helping operations teams scale using cloud-native infrastructure.
