Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)

The majority of our production servers run on RHEL7 and RHEL8. Our data collection apps run on these servers allowing us to capture large sets of data for analyst to analyze.
  • It's extremely stable
  • It's easy to automate/manage
  • Easily scalable
  • I'd like to see more python libraries packaged with the base OS.
  • More frequent feature releases.
  • Not specific to RHEL, but it would be helpful if there were more Red Hat Ansible playbooks for compliance automation available on GitHub.
  • Built-in python
  • Built-in ansible
  • easier to control configuration drift via automation.
  • Greatly reduces man-hours from manual configurations
  • Greatly reduces down-time.

We have a combination of Windows and Linux in our organization. The Windows systems are to provide support to the RHEL systems, such as Active Directory, File/Print servers etc. We've been replacing as many of the Windows systems with RHEL as we can due to the fact RHEL is just easier to manage, it's more stable, and it's far easier to automate. We fight with automation on Windows and configuration drift on Windows is a challenge. We don't have these issues with RHEL, and using ansible on RHEL is just inherent.
