How people benefit
From cost savings to seamless integration, certified professionals share their own insights into our open hybrid cloud solutions.
We use Red Hat OpenShift for runtime or application migration, transitioning from classic application servers and configuration restore machines. The solution offers ease with which we can define how to run applications and configure them. It's much more convenient than creating a virtual machine and configuring application servers, making the process faster and simpler.
Petr Bunka,
System Architect at CGI
From my perspective, the best features of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) include security patches which are the best, and the OS is very good compared to Ubuntu or other alternatives. Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) offers UBI images or UBI versions that are very eco-friendly for use by the end users of those Linux machines that are deploying their services or applications, making it user-friendly for them. Whenever we get stuck, the support from Red Hat is very responsive, and we receive the best support from them.

There is no other platform like Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. As this application fulfilled complete requirement as administrator. Earlier we were not able to achieve patch compliance, management was disspointed due to low compliance but after using this product we able to achieve above 90 percent compliance and now our management is happy.
