Today, we are excited to announce support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) in HAQM EKS Anywhere. You now have broader choice of operating systems to create and operate HAQM EKS Anywhere clusters with RHEL in your on-premises data centers. RHEL support is available for HAQM EKS Anywhere clusters running on VMware vSphere, on Apache CloudStack, or directly on bare metal servers.
RHEL is a popular operating system for on-premises workloads, and customers often customize their RHEL images with security hardening and other organizational best practices. Now, you can start from your custom base images, and use HAQM EKS Anywhere tooling to build RHEL images for running Kubernetes clusters.
There are no upfront commitments or fees to use HAQM EKS Anywhere. You have the option to purchase HAQM EKS Anywhere Enterprise Subscriptions to get additional paid features as well as 24/7 support from highly-trained subject matter experts. To get support for RHEL, you can leverage your existing support contracts with Red Hat.
