🔄 Update (16.06.2026):

The post about RHEL 8 is now historical, as this system has completed its full life cycle and is in the technical support phase (Maintenance Phase). Since 2018, Red Hat has released subsequent major versions of the system, including RHEL 9 and the announced RHEL 10, which introduce support for the latest Linux kernels, improved containerization (Podman), and advanced cloud automation features.

Key changes include:

• Transition to newer AppStream packages and withdrawal of support for older libraries.
• Integration with modern infrastructure-as-code (IaC) management tools, such as Ansible Automation Platform.
• Increased emphasis on security through built-in SCAP profiles and improved data encryption in the cloud.

RedHat presented the 8th version of its operating system. The beta version is already available for download. The release is intended for physical machines, virtual machines, private clouds, and public clouds. In this version, access to programming tools related to various programming languages, frameworks, and databases has been improved. The installation of the relevant tools is performed using a single command. Support for machine learning solutions has also been introduced.
