With Red Hat, IBM to become the leading hybrid cloud provider
This deal is the biggest Linux and open-source acquisition ever.

This Red Hat release also introduces Application Streams. This is the latest packaging for Red Hat giving your developers access to the latest languages, frameworks and developer tools without impacting RHEL’s core resources. This will keep both your programmers and administrators happy.

Speaking of your sysadmins, RHEL 8 makes it easier for your new admins to get work done by abstracting away many sysadmin tasks with  the new RHEL web console. The console provides an intuitive, consistent graphical interface for managing and monitoring the RHEL system, from the health of virtual machines to overall system performance. To further improve ease of use, RHEL supports in-place upgrades for users wanting to upgrade from RHEL 7 to  RHEL 8.

The new RHEL also includes Ansible DevOps  baked in with RHEL System Roles. System Roles are pre-configured Ansible modules that enable ready-made automated workflows for handling common, complex sysadmin tasks. This makes it easier for new systems administrators to adopt Linux practices and helps to eliminate human error as the cause of common configuration problems.
