Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7 adds enhanced
features for hybrid cloud deployments and containerized application
development while retaining a focus on production stability
Red Hat, Inc., the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced the general availability of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 7.7, the final Full Support Phase release of the
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 platform. As hybrid and multicloud
computing helps to transform enterprise IT, Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 7.7 delivers enhanced consistency and control across cloud
infrastructure for IT operations teams while also providing a suite
of modern, supported container creation tools for enterprise
application developers.
The Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 lifecycle Beyond new
capabilities, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7 also marks the
transition of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 to Maintenance Phase I
within the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10-year lifecycle. Maintenance
Phase I emphasizes maintaining infrastructure stability for
production environments and enhancing the reliability of the
operating system. Future minor releases of Red Hat Enterprise Linux
7 will now focus solely on retaining and improving this stability
rather than net-new features.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscribers are able to migrate across
platform versions as support and feature needs dictate. To help
with the process, Red Hat offers tools, including in-place
upgrades, which helps to streamline and simplify migrating from Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 7 to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.
Enhanced operational consistency across the hybrid cloud
As interest in hybrid cloud deployments grows across the enterprise
world, IT operations teams face a complex, evolving technology
stack interweaving traditional applications and cloud-native
services as well as virtualized, bare-metal and cloud-based
resources. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7 adds new features to help
operations teams maintain control and consistency of their
workloads across environments, including:
- Red Hat Insights, Red Hat’s expertise-as-a-service
offering, which helps users proactively detect, analyze and
remediate a variety of potential software security and
configuration issues before they cause downtime or other
problems.
- Full support for image builder, a Red Hat Enterprise
Linux utility that enables IT teams to more readily and easily
build cloud images for major public cloud infrastructures,
including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud
Platform.
- Network performance improvements for Red Hat OpenShift
and Red Hat OpenStack Platform by offloading virtual switching and
network functions virtualization (NFV) to network controller
hardware.
Powering a cloud-native developer experience Frequently,
modern applications built to run across the hybrid cloud are
developed using Linux containers. Building cloud-native apps
requires cloud-native development tools, like a container daemon,
but these tools can introduce unnecessary risk and complexity into
development environments. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7 now includes
full support for Red Hat’s distributed container toolkit -
buildah, podman and skopeo - on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux workstation deployments with the Red Hat Universal
Base Image, enabling developer teams to build, run and manage
containerized applications across the hybrid cloud with a smaller,
more manageable tool footprint.
Live patching for improved OS security Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 7.7 also introduces support for live patching the underlying
Linux kernel. Live patching support enables IT teams to apply
kernel updates to remediate Critical or Important Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) while reducing the need for
system reboots, which can cause unnecessary downtime and system
outages.
Availability Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7 is available
now for current Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscribers via the Red
Hat Customer Portal.
Supporting Quote Stefanie Chiras, vice president and
general manager, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat “As the hybrid
cloud takes hold as a preferred production environment for
mission-critical workloads, maintaining stability and consistency
across all IT footprints is key. With Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7,
we show our continued commitment to the 10-year Red Hat Enterprise
Linux lifecycle while also introducing key new features, like image
builder and Red Hat Insights, to help IT organizations get the most
from their existing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 investments.”
