Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)

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.
  • It is very easy to make system changes in the command line compared to other operating systems.
  • It is easy to automate the processes to make system changes.
  • its extremely malleable which makes it easy to meet my requirements.
  • it can be difficult to find dependencies since i work mostly in classified spaces.
  • it can be difficult to use things like pam
  • it is hard to get a kickstart to work easily in the classified space
  • podman
  • remote console
  • nmcli
  • microsoft tools do not work
  • cannot get voips to work daisy chained with ice
  • learning curve to do tasks
Ansible is amazing. I love being able to use Ansible to maintain all of my machine across all of my networks.

I have had a very easy time imaging RHEL machines and getting them to the state i desire. I find pam very confusing and how to make changes that are required in the classified environments. it would be nice if there were an easier way to see required dependencies to prevent me walking back and forth multiple times to complete one install.
