Partner with Red Hat with a special offer for Google Startups

Build with scale in mind

Starting from the ground up is never easy. How you will build your infrastructure and, more importantly, scale your business as it grows is a critical decision that could pay dividends down the road. That’s why Red Hat is extending a specialized 6-month trial offer curated specially for Google startup businesses.

By choosing Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) as your foundational operating system, your applications will be ready for artificial intelligence and hyper-growth, you’ll receive the renowned stability of Red Hat-backed software with continued access to the latest security patches, and be able to integrate easily through Google Console. Not only that, but trial users will get 6 months of technical support for RHEL for Google Cloud, to help navigate any issues you might encounter as you embark on your building journey. 
 

Building with RHEL means peace of mind for you and stability for your future customers. Start your trial today.

How it works
Getting started with RHEL for your business is easy. Once we verify you are part of the Google Startup program, your organization will be granted $2,000 in software credits to help your initial build costs.

  1. Fill out the form provided on this page with your information, including your startup’s Google Billing ID and the name and email address for the person who can accept the Google Private Offer.
  2. Once your info is submitted, Red Hat will review your info and verify your startup program status.
  3. Get credit! After your startup is verified, the trial will be allocated to your specified Google Cloud account via a special offer.
  4. You will receive a link from Red Hat. Then sign into your Google Cloud Console and accept your offer. After activation, your trial will last for 6 months or up to the $2,000 credit allocation, whichever is reached first (users are still responsible for any additional infrastructure costs outside of RHEL usage).

Requirements

  1. Users must be an active, verified customer within the Google Startup Program as a “Start Tier” member in order to qualify for this trial.
  2. Users must provide a valid Google Billing ID that matches the email address linked to their Google Startup Program account.
  3. Users must provide the name of an authorized point of contact within your Google Startup Program account.
Note: At the end of your 6-month trial period, or once your $2,000 in software credits have been fully utilized (whichever comes first), your Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription will automatically transition to standard Google Cloud Marketplace list pricing. To avoid any service interruption or unexpected charges, we encourage you to review your account status as your trial nears completion. If you are eligible for a replacement offer or extended program benefits, please ensure it is signed and active before your trial end date. Follow this link to the full FAQ.
