This latest RHEL release is built from CentOS Stream, the continuously delivered Linux distribution that tracks ahead of RHEL. Customers will have the ability to choose underlying architecture, application vendor or cloud provider, according to the company. RHEL 9 promises a more consistent experience across the open hybrid cloud, from bare-metal servers to public clouds and enterprise network edges. The Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9 operating system becomes generally available “in the coming weeks,” according to the company. Recently appointed Red Hat channel chief Stefanie Chiras told CRN in an interview this year that technologies enabling edge computing, artificial intelligence and machine learning are some of the major technologies partners will see the company invest in. IBM’s consulting wing about doubled its Red Hat-related signings year over year, with the Red Hat practice amassing a nearly $4.5 billion book of business from inception to date. Red Hat has proven key to IBM’s hybrid cloud growth strategy, with the tech giant reporting an increase of 21 percent year over year to Red Hat revenue during its latest quarterly earnings report. These applications focus on artificial intelligence, machine learning, development operations (DevOps), networking and other areas. More than 5,000 certified partner applications are delivered by hundreds of independent software providers (ISVs), according to Red Hat. The summit also shared the calendar with Red Hat parent IBM’s annual Think event, which was also held virtually and in Boston. Red Hat Summit, held this week virtually and in person in Boston, also included announcements for the Raleigh, N.C.-based company’s OpenShift containerized software suite, more validated patterns to speed up edge architecture building and updates on the Ansible Automation Platform. IBM subsidiary Red Hat used its annual Summit event to whet developers’ appetite for the upcoming newest version of its Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system, providing more information on RHEL 9’s new capabilities around edge computing, security and automation.
