Red Hat has announced a collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure to deliver cloud-optimized Red Hat Enterprise Linux. These offerings are part of the launch of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 and are designed to enhance performance across different hyperscaler environments. The aim is to provide users with pre-tuned, ready-to-run images for easier cloud deployment.

The collaboration offers a streamlined approach for deploying Red Hat Enterprise Linux on these major cloud platforms. This includes optimized performance through pre-configured profiles, contained drift and accelerated delivery using container-native tooling, enhanced observability with built-in telemetry options, and improved security from boot to runtime.
Manu Parbhakar from AWS highlighted the immediate value customers gain from this collaboration through performance-optimized profiles that integrate well with AWS’s services. Mark Lohmeyer from Google Cloud emphasized the flexibility provided to customers for scaling operations quickly while benefiting from integrated security capabilities. Brendan Burns from Microsoft Azure noted the commitment shared by Microsoft and Red Hat in providing a seamless hybrid cloud experience.
