Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)

I am part of a two-man team that's responsible for the entire lifecycle of everything dealing with Linux. And we're a full Red Hat shop, so every server from its OS management and configuration and assisting of the app teams and deploying their apps on it as well as patching, compliance, all that stuff.

We primarily started using it to help with the ECS deployment, the new VMs, and patching. So we have playbooks that focus on keeping our systems up to date with patches and security patches and initially and now we use it to run playbooks to help configure new VM requests in environments. And we have a very secure environment, which we don't use EEC Sing. It's a highly sensitive government environment that has to be isolated so nothing can go in, and nothing can go out except for very specific parameters. And so what we did is we have an Ansible presence in there already. So instead of sitting at an alone ECS, a whole new system in there to deploy VMs, we have Ansible deploying. So we have Ansible playbooks that connect to the ISOs and connect to the Packer images and build these VMs and they build 'em to a specific secure requirement that this environment and they automatically put them in the right OU in the right folder within the BSPHERE client. And so it is been really helpful in that environment because we used to have to copy CDs there and build VMs from scratch all the time. And the Linux VM from scratch in a very secure environment takes a long time. It's very annoying. So save a lot of time.

Right now, primarily, we're using it to support a tools infrastructure for a hybrid cloud solution for our company itself. We also use it to manage, I won't mention the name, but a very large casino that has a mix of AIX and RHEL involved. And all the stuff that we typically use are more the backend functioning, regulatory, that sort of thing. So our job is to make sure they're up and running and doing what they need to do. If the regulators aren't happy, people can't do business. It's relatively inexpensive versus the traditional, which would be AIX or other UNIX systems that have been around forever. They can fit in niches, really small. The ability to work with some of the open source, all of them have that ability now, but RHEL it's certainly more integrated and it's actually just a very easy configurable functional OS that can do a lot and we can roll them out as we need.

So in our organization, we use RHEL for many things. For example, my team uses it as an image builder for AP. We use it as a file synchronization server, as a file server for our AP environment as well as web servers and many other use cases. We have over, I believe, 15,000 rail servers. One of our problems was that I'm talking about my automation team for AP, we had some issues getting all of our files for agents in the same place and being reliable. So we built a RHEL server for all the files and built an Ansible playbook to synchronize between OpenShift pods.

We build high-performance computing clusters and we use RHEL as the OS of choice. Compliance is a big one. And then updates and stability. Generally a good product.

We use it as the base for a lot of our applications and our student registration systems. I use it personally as a base for a lot of our network automation and monitoring systems. We have our satellite server set up so we can manage our repository of updates. We have a consistent environment for our developers across the board.

We currently use Red Hat Enterprise Linux as our OS of choice for all workloads. Red Hat Enterprise Linux addresses all aspect we require such as high availability, stability, performance, latency etc.

RHEL is what we use for all Linux based applications, running in approximately 1000 systems, both bare metal and VMs. Standardization on a single distribution backed up by enterprise class support solves a lot of problems in our organization. It also improves the security posture and overall stability of our production environments.

Application Servers.

System administration and dev/ops.

Operating System of choice for scalable digital services. When it comes to a digital transformation the underlying platforms here are all Linux which allows for the deployment of the supporting apps and infra.

We use it throughout most of our infrastructure. For now, we mostly use Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and starting to explore Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.

We use Red Hat Enterprise Linux in our mission critical environments.

Multiple applications, including Oracle, Cloverleaf, Java, MQ, web servers, etc.

We use Red Hat Enterprise Linux and OpenShift to run business process workloads and to develop on.

I use Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Cloud-based Virtual Machines and to deploy large OLTP solutions in highly performant, highly reliable configurations. Red Hat Enterprise Linux supports workloads for SAP, Oracle and other large scale databases for customers and application providers.

We use RHEL for our servers & satellites to manage it. We use Ansible as well to patch our servers monthly over all the environments & we are planning to use AAP in the future to be more precise.

We use Redhat Linux for Linux servers.

Admin for USE Linux servers. Running various applications on-prem and in the cloud. Currently working toward SAP deployment. Approx 400 servers across all platforms. Dell Boomi, JMS, Satellite, and Ansible, are some of the apps that come to mind. Can't think of any problems at the moment. We automate builds and get them to app owners to do their thing.

Use RHEL to host various applications for distance education and classroom technologies. It is a well supported and reliable platform to host a variety of web applications.

We have our own private cloud and we use RHEL as our standard SO. We have a team with about 10 engineers who are supporting and updating them. We use RHEL because it gives us security when setting up our services. We try to standardize our DC and work as much as possible with RHEL due to its ease of use, its support and the information that is found is very useful when running into a problem.

We use Red Hat to develop products purchased by the government. We use it to run docker/podman and k8/k3s with the things we are innovating. it is used to build automation to make tasks easier to manage. it allows us to standardize the way I manage the environment across multiple networks.

RHEL is used to house some of our robust applications that need high availability. Some of the business problems RHEL addresses is stability and security.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the defacto-standard platform for new workloads running both on-premise and in multiple public clouds. We deploy both critical enterprise applications, as well as edge location workloads on RHEL.

Red Hat is the most used operating system for our software development team. We currently develop around 5 products that are used across the company, and after the announcement of CentOS changing their code we moved most of our servers to Red Hat 7. We are currently looking to convert more of the legacy servers to Red Hat.
