Red Hat Enterprise Linux on Google Cloud

Google Cloud Platform builds progressive layers of security into its infrastructure technology stack, and offers full visibility into how information is used and who can see it. You’ll also have access to a suite of controls to help achieve consistent compliance across all cloud regions. Red Hat Enterprise Linux helps you reduce the risk of intrusions with role-based authentication and authorization controls, regular updates, and security patches.

Use a consistent set of tools across your datacenter and cloud environments, reducing the need for additional IT training and streamlining your administrative processes across your entire footprint.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux works natively with open source container tools Podman, Buildah, and Skopeo, letting you easily spin up containers, manage deployment, and speed development of new applications in the cloud. You can also place workloads and data where it makes sense for you, easily porting an existing on-premise Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription to Google Cloud via Red Hat Cloud Access.

Extend the capabilities of the OS with Red Hat’s broad portfolio of solutions. The Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog contains hundreds of partner technologies to help you address any business need. 

Red Hat works directly with Google Cloud to offer highly responsive, award-winning support tailored to your organization’s needs.

Red Hat Insights is included in your Red Hat Enterprise Linux on Google Cloud subscription. This powerful utility continuously analyzes platforms and applications, giving you persistent, system-level visibility and helping you identify, prioritize, and resolve risks before they affect operations.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is available in a pay-as-you-go offering directly from the Google Cloud Marketplace, where you can review pricing details to estimate your infrastructure costs, and start a free trial to get a closer view of the deployment process. Google Cloud offers committed use discounts (CUDs) in one- and three- year terms for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP, giving you access to significant savings for predictable workloads.

Red Hat’s Hybrid Committed Spend (HCS) program offers discounts on Red Hat products, including those running on hybrid cloud platforms like Google Cloud. If you’re using Red Hat technologies on-premise or in other clouds, you can dedicate some of your committed spend to Red Hat Enterprise Linux on Google Cloud as well. You can also participate in Red Hat’s program and Google Cloud’s CUD at the same time, drawing against both commitments with the same technologies, further reducing your costs. 

Move your existing Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription to Google Cloud with Red Hat Cloud Access. Deploy custom or Red Hat-certified gold images from the command line, giving you true portability without changing your support access, your current IT investment, or your subscription terms.
