What do you like best about the product?
This is one of the best Linux distributions, offering regular updates and security patches that make it highly reliable. The support from the Linux team is excellent, and the Redhat community consistently provides outstanding assistance. In our experience, this system has managed our production workloads smoothly, with very few outages resulting from the regular upgrades performed by Redhat. This reliability has increased our confidence in using it within our enterprise environment, where we run important enterprise applications such as open source databases and Kubernetes services.

We can host various databases on different RHEL versions and run our enterprise applications, including open source password safe servers, without issues. These virtual machines also interact seamlessly with other services, such as cloud-native Kubernetes solutions like AKS and PaaS databases.
