We use RHEL images as our primary OS for deploying monolith applications.

Pros

  • File System Management

  • Repository Management
  • Security Updates

Cons

  • Network Utilities
  • Interfacing with external Identity Providers like AD
  • Satellite
  • Licensing was very easy and scalable
  • New OS and features are open source and easy to prototype before committing
Overall RHEL has maintained much of the core functionality of Fedora but between version there are significant differences between versions from the of utils.

Would you buy Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) again?

Yes

RHEL is very well suited for large enterprise scale applications that are FEDRAMP compliant. Patches are provided on a timely basis. Even libraries that are out of support, are often independently maintained by Red hat. Where it needs work is some of the Network Utilities and OS system parameters. These have changed through each iteration of RHEL and it takes time to re-learn how some core components operate.
