Choosing the best operating system for your organization is key to your success! It may be tempting to go with an unpaid, unsupported option under the guise of saving money.

But Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® has a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) over time—and it streamlines the conversion, maintenance, and overall management for your IT team.

Released in May 2025, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 helps customers innovate, optimize, protect, and trust their traditional and next-generation workloads across their datacenter, cloud, and edge environments.

In this webinar, we cover:

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux release cycle, open source ecosystem, and how derivatives are made.
• Technical features: the retired and the new
• How AI will change how system administration is done
• How to leverage the new Red Hat Training curriculum available in the Red Hat Learning Subscription to upskill on the latest versions.

*This webinar was hosted in partnership with Red Hat.

AI-Powered Assistance and Innovation

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 introduces RE Lightseed, an AI-powered command line assistant providing proactive guidance and actionable recommendations for building, deploying, and managing systems.
• The new Insights Image Builder leverages AI-driven package recommendations from RE Lightseed, enabling users to make smarter decisions at build time and access a digital roadmap of Red Hat’s component lifecycle information.

Deployment and Management Enhancements

• RHEL 10 debuts “image mode”, a revolutionary approach to deploy the base operating system as a single image across entire fleets, ensuring consistency and drift-free management.
• System roles in RHEL 10 enable the scalable deployment and management of advanced intrusion detection environments using Ansible Core and the Ansible Automation Platform.
• A new web console provides a more intuitive, web app-like interface for system management, complementing the traditional command-line approach.

Security and Future-Proofing

• RHEL 10 incorporates post-quantum encryption technologies to defend against the threat of quantum computing, which could potentially break RSA 2048 encryption in 10 seconds.
• Confidential computing capabilities enable secure processing and storage of sensitive data in isolated environments, protecting against unauthorized access.

Support and Learning

• RHEL 10 offers 5 years of full support followed by 5 years of maintenance support, providing a 10-year window for organizations to utilize the platform.
• The Red Hat Learning Subscription provides unlimited access to all Red Hat courses, including updater courses for RHEL 10, with a Premium option offering live instructor-delivered components.

Ecosystem and Integration

• RHEL 10 represents nearly a quarter century of Linux innovation and Unix to Linux migration, introducing a more predictable release cadence and new ways to deploy to the edge and manage across hybrid cloud environments.
• Red Hat Satellite 6.17 now supports image mode for provisioning and client management, alongside new bootc collections for bootable containers and Ansible Automation Platform integration.
