Red Hat Enterprise Linux on AWS

Standardizing on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and AWS lets you use the same set of management tools to administer your datacenter and cloud environments, saving time and effort for everything from provisioning, scaling, policy enforcement, and decommissioning.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux on AWS takes a two-process approach to continuous security. First, the OS must pass a validation process to be listed on AWS Marketplace. Then, performance analytics tools–AWS Inspector and Red Hat Insights (included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux)–constantly monitor the enterprise environment.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux delivers consistent performance and security across different footprints, whether in the cloud, on-premise, or at the edge. Red Hat Enterprise Linux also works with open source container tools Podman, Buildah, and Skopeo, allowing developers to easily spin up containers, manage deployment, and speed development of new applications in the cloud.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux allows you to place workloads and data where it makes the most sense. To ease deployment across clouds, the included image builder tool lets you create customized Red Hat Enterprise Linux images, save them as templates, and push them to cloud inventories. Red Hat Universal Base Image (UBI) provides developers pre-built images to consume a number of language runtimes. You can also use a Red Hat built and maintained golden image to deploy directly from your AWS console.

Red Hat brings a broad portfolio of tools, solutions, and partners that integrate and work seamlessly with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This includes Red Hat OpenShift® on AWS (ROSA), a turnkey application platform that provides a managed Red Hat OpenShift service running natively on AWS. Whether using Red Hat Enterprise Linux on AWS or on-premise, enterprises can manage all of their applications with a single tool. Red Hat and AWS offer a proven, scalable hybrid cloud foundation to help you maximize the value of your workloads, including SAP and Microsoft SQL Server.

Red Hat’s award-winning support team works with AWS to provide expertise, knowledge, and premium 24x7 support for production systems. You can trust that support calls and tickets go directly to the right experts.

Red Hat Insights continuously analyzes platforms and applications to help you better manage and optimize hybrid cloud environments and is available at no additional charge from the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console. Improve IT efficiency, stability, and performance, and reduce risk across your cloud environments from a single interface.

Purchase Red Hat Enterprise Linux via the AWS Marketplace. Use the pricing information tool to estimate infrastructure costs based on your specific configurations. Organizations can take advantage of the discounts outlined in their committed spend agreement with AWS (known as Enterprise Discount Program) when purchasing Red Hat Enterprise Linux on the AWS Marketplace.

Red Hat offers committed spend discounts on the procurement of Red Hat products, ensuring that you get the most out of your company’s cloud investment. You can purchase from Red Hat directly or through the cloud marketplace and receive competitive pricing based on your total Red Hat spend.

By purchasing Red Hat Enterprise Linux on AWS as a pay-as-you-go product, you only pay for the resources you use, allowing for rapid scaling in response to demand fluctuations. However, this model can result in unpredictable costs and necessitate continuous usage monitoring to prevent overruns.
