Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)

The major scenario where Red Hat Enterprise Linux best suited would be in any scenario where the application is running in production and would cause downtime / loss of revenue when that system goes down. The support system alone is worth it. An area where it's less appropriate would be where you need / want package updates earlier / faster and better hardware support with a newer kernel.

It is well suited because our customers are using it and it's out there. And my background is AIX Unix and when I came I've come in as a tech reentry and I saw an opportunity with Red Hat being the product to re-skill in and I've never looked back since.

I think it's best suited for all the monolithic application where you just need a VM and you on top of that VM you need to install a compatible product. So it's best suited for those. Where's not suited. As I said, maybe I've seen in my organization mostly our internal application teams, they go for a different operating system for appliances or network maybe it might be due to the product compatibility, not with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), but that's something maybe you should have a look or probably it's not a improvement anywhere.

So anyone that's running an application that runs on a Linux distribution, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)'s a great option for that. Things that aren't going to work well with it. A lot of times vendors provide their own custom build operating system. So you can't use Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) in that instance.

Good product

More suited for business or professional use. For smaller use like a laptop or pet project id recommend another OS. Especially because certain repos have more support for smaller stuff like that like in Debian. Though professionally it is definitely second to none id much rather recommend Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) than something like Ubuntu.

I would say for enterprise server management for just essentially servers that don't require GUI or that you want to run in a kind of secure, standalone fashion. I think it does become difficult with integrating with different identity providers. So that can be a pain point as far as integration with active directory or any kind of ldap. But I would say as far as just being able to provide confidence that you're deploying a secure product from the outset and that it serves the needs of the different infrastructure as far as compatibility with a lot of software that's built on the platform. So I think it's really helpful for serving that server software in the cloud or on virtual machines wherever.

It’s about it to scale, manage, efficiency of resource utilization, flexibility, and automation platforms

It well suited for a secure os that help makes sure everything is secure. It also has long term support.

Running vms. Less standalone test stands

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is good enterprise wise, for development and programming.
The user interface however stops it from being commercially used by the everyday person

Tho os great at being stable for our base image

After a Nessus scan, there are many changes that need to be made manually. Following the instructions, most of these scenarios can be easily resolved, but there are a few that require a lot of work to solve. It would be nice to have a pre-hardened version that can be installed directly.

Keeping our servers up to date with automated patching. And support.

Works well in our environment

Stability of service

Requires less resources in an OnPrem environment, compared to windows

Excellent product

Some things require windows systems. Which is weird. But other than that Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) all the ways.

utilizing scientific code to execute simulations

It is great for all enterprise functions unless you need bleeding edge code, but you can then use fedora to develop and possibly port to Red Hat Enterprise Linux, although not as current.

RHEL is a good enterprise option for linux

I would use RHEL for some applications, I would not use it as an authentication source.

I am OT professional. RHEL fits well into our environment. Perhaps, RHEL is not suitable for business or general corporate network as main end-user system. End users are more in favor of MS or Apple solutions. This is where RHEL has room for improvement

As a workstation there are still some that do not think it is ready. I have used the workstation part but not much. The server side has been the main product that I rely on for mission critical applications. While nothing is perfect I can not think of any thing that I have specifically been disappointed with
