Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is a Linux distribution developed by Red Hat for the commercial market. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is released in server versions for x86-64, Power ISA, ARM64, and IBM Z and a desktop version for x86-64. All of Red Hat's official support and training, together with the Red Hat Certification Program, focuses on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux platform.

Red Hat engineers help improve features, reliability, and security to make sure your infrastructure performs and remains stable no matter your use case and workload. Red Hat also uses Red Hat products internally to achieve faster innovation, and a more agile and responsive operating environment.

One reason enterprises choose Red Hat as the strategic provider of their operating system infrastructure is because Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the thing that stays the same so that everything else can be different. Enterprise customers need a more secure, stable operating system but they also need to allow developers to be agile and use the latest packages and tooling. Red Hat recognises this balance of stability versus innovation.
