Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 with High Availability
4.6
Overview
The Red Hat Enterprise Linux with High Availability image is the foundation to a clustered system that provides reliability, scalability, and availability to critical production services. A cluster is two or more instances (called nodes or members) that work together to perform a task.
Highlights
- Cluster infrastructure - Provides fundamental functions for nodes to work together as a cluster: configuration file management, membership management, lock management, and fencing.
- High availability Service Management - Provides failover of services from one cluster node to another in case a node becomes inoperative.
- Cluster administration tools - Configuration and management tools for setting up, configuration, and managing the High Availability Add-On. The tools are for use with the Cluster Infrastructure components, the high availability and Service Management components, and storage.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

What do you like best about the product?
What we like most about Red Hat Enterprise Linux is its stability and enterprise-grade support. The predictable release cycle, strong security updates, and wide ecosystem compatibility make it well suited for long-running, mission-critical production workloads. The initial setup is straightforward, with clear documentation and reliable installation and package management tools, allowing teams familiar with Linux to deploy systems quickly and confidently.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some limitations of Red Hat Enterprise Linux include licensing costs and the overhead of subscription management. It can be less flexible than community-driven distributions for rapid experimentation, and access to the latest software versions may lag behind upstream releases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Red Hat Enterprise Linux addresses the need for a stable, secure, and fully supported operating system in production environments. It reduces downtime and security risks through reliable updates, certified software, and enterprise-grade support, making it well suited for critical enterprise and cloud workloads.

What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate that Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the market leader for Linux operating systems. It's reliable, flexible, and cost-effective. I find it strong in security and suitable for enterprise-grade applications, making it a great replacement for some legacy Unix systems. The initial setup is rather easy, and one of the benefits is that it's based on open source, which makes it more customizable and user-friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since Red Hat Enterprise Linux is now owned by IBM after its acquisition, there are concerns about its cost effectiveness, the freedom of open source development, and the quality of customer support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Red Hat Enterprise Linux for enterprise applications, solving issues from support functions to cybersecurity management. It's reliable, flexible, cost-effective, and strong in security, suitable for enterprise applications and replacing legacy Unix systems.

Mature, Stable, and Security-First: RHEL Keeps Surprises Out of Prod
Reviewed on Feb 01, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
See, I'm more into ethical hacking and security stuff so for that the only distro I primarily used is redhat. RHEL doesn’t chase shiny features. It ships mature, well-understood components. That means fewer surprise attack surfaces and fewer “oops, upstream broke prod” moments. Most distros ship SELinux and tell you to disable it. RHEL treats it as a first-class citizen.
What do you dislike about the product?
As a security guy, I dislike RHEL because it’s overly conservative. Backported patches complicate vuln validation, packages are outdated, SELinux is painful to manage, and the locked subscription model slows labs and automation. Great for defense, frustrating for real security testing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
RHEL solves the problem of running secure, stable systems at scale without surprises. It gives me predictable patching, long-term support, strong defaults like SELinux, and built-in compliance alignment, so I spend less time firefighting and more time actually improving security. The benefit to me is simple: fewer production incidents, cleaner audits, and an OS I can trust to stay hardened and stable over time.

Reliable and Secure for Mission-Critical Systems

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I use Red Hat Enterprise Linux as a reliable and secure operating system for running servers and handling production workloads. I appreciate its reliability and consistency, as I can depend on it to run for long periods without issues, essential for production environments. The long-term support and predictable update cycle give me confidence that updates won’t break my systems unexpectedly. I also value its strong security features, detailed documentation, and seamless integration with enterprise tools like Ansible and OpenShift. These features simplify system management and automation, making Red Hat Enterprise Linux a polished, enterprise-grade Linux platform I trust.
What do you dislike about the product?
While I find Red Hat Enterprise Linux very dependable, there are a few areas that could be improved. The subscription and licensing model can feel complex and costly, especially compared to community-based distributions, and it sometimes adds overhead for smaller teams or non-production use. Newer software versions can also take longer to become available because of RHEL’s focus on stability, which can be limiting when I need the latest features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Red Hat Enterprise Linux for stability, security, and manageability in production workloads. It ensures long-term support, compliance through timely patches, and reduces downtime with enterprise support and a robust ecosystem.

What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate how Red Hat Enterprise Linux has evolved very rapidly and provides a highly secure platform. It's great for building private cloud environments, and I find it trustworthy. The availability of open-source applications and codes is a big plus, offering cost-saving benefits for supporting larger private cloud solutions. It's also supportive of containerizations and Kubernetes, which enhances scalability. I like how the product provides a more secure way and the enterprise-level support from Red Hat is helpful. The licensing cost is mostly free, which is a huge benefit for us. It's a highly stable and evolved operating system that supports the enterprise environment effectively, with low costs for growing cloud environments. The initial setup isn't too hard, and the availability of resources like blogs and YouTube videos helps in resolving issues and enhancing knowledge.
