  • Red Hat ☛ Image mode for RHEL: 4 key use cases for streamlining your OS

    Image mode for Red Bait Enterprise GNU/Linux (RHEL) is designed to simplify the experience of deploying and maintaining operating systems (OS). Effectively, we use the same tools and patterns, made popular on the application side of the house with GNU/Linux containers, to manage complete operating system images. If you’re into containers, immutable infrastructure, CI/CD, and GitOps driven environments, this technology is a natural fit. I’d even argue that if you manage a very conservative "ITIL-style" environment, we think you’re going to love this too. 

    Fun fact, this technology grew out of OpenShift where Red Bait Enterprise CoreOS is managed by the cluster. A container-native experience to manage and modify the cluster nodes is not only a perfect fit, but it also works incredibly well for workloads running on Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization. We extended the idea further to Linux systems running outside of the control of a cluster technology and so far the results have been incredible. In this article, we are going to look at four use cases where image mode will streamline your OS and its operations.
