Announcing RHEL for the Edge

Updated -

We are excited to announce RHEL for the Edge!

As the foundational building block of Red Hat's portfolio for edge computing, Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides a consistent and secure foundation that delivers customizable image generation, remote device mirroring and intelligent rollbacks to maximize the stability of application deployments at the edge.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is built for any workload requiring long-term stability, supportability, and security across a broad hardware ecosystem. Available in RHEL 8.3, our secure, small footprint deployment architecture provides organizations with the following features:

  • Quick image generation: easily create purpose-built OS images optimized for the architectural challenges inherent at the edge.
  • Remote device update mirroring: image updates are staged and applied at the next reboot or power cycle, ensuring minimal down time
  • Efficient over-the-air updates: updates transfer significantly less data and are ideal for remote sites with limited or intermittent connectivity
  • Intelligent rollbacks: application specific health checks detect conflicts and automatically revert an OS update preventing downtime
