State Of Linux in The Public Cloud
More and more workloads are moving to public clouds. When it comes to hybrid cloud success, consistency is key. When an operating environment is flexible, consistent, resilient, and security-focused, the overall application and user environments inherit that consistency. That consistency starts with Linux®. Read this e-book to learn more about the value of Linux for today's business cloud strategy.
Simplify Cloud Security with Red Hat And AWS
As cloud adoption grows, security continues to be a leading concern for organizations of all sizes. In fact, 79% of organizations cite security as a top cloud challenge. This concern is with good reason—45% of breaches in 2022 occurred in the cloud. To protect your business, you need the same level of security policy and access controls in the cloud that you have on-site in your datacenter.
This overview describes how using Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® as your operating foundation across your datacenter and Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud environments helps you:
- Detect and remediate vulnerabilities at scale with Red Hat Insights.
- Ensure compliance with standards certification and built-in scanning and remediation.
- Streamline security configuration and management with automation.

5 Surprising Benefits of Moving from Centos Linux to Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Some organizations think that using an unpaid, unsupported operating system is a way to save money. However, Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® has a lower total cost of ownership over time. In this infographic, learn how Red Hat Enterprise Linux can help you reduce costs, streamline migration, gain data insights, and enforce security—all while maintaining your preferred software, hardware, and cloud vendors.
Benefits of Migrating from CentOS Linux to Red Hat Enterprise Linux
The CentOS Project will discontinue updates and releases of CentOS Linux® between 2021 and 2024. As a result, CentOS Linux users must migrate to a new operating system to continue receiving updates, patches, and new features. While implementing a new operating system may seem tedious, it also presents an opportunity to reassess your organization’s needs and choose a platform that will better support your business now and in the future.
A consistent, intelligent operating foundation for modern IT and enterprise hybrid cloud deployments, Red Hat® Enterprise Linux delivers optimal benefits for your organization. Because CentOS Linux is derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux sources, you can continue to use many of the same techniques and elements while gaining more features, tools, support, and value.
Compared to organizations that use unpaid alternatives like CentOS Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux users experience:
- 16% lower three-year cost of operations.
- 32% more efficient IT infrastructure teams.
- 35% faster development life cycles.
- 81% less unplanned downtime.
