Get started
Plan and prepare for RHEL installation
By reviewing system requirements, supported architectures, and registration benefits, you can prepare for a smooth Red Hat Enterprise Linux deployment and customize your installation media.
Validate environment readiness for RHEL 10
Before you upgrade to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, review the notable changes in architectures, packages, kernel, security, networking, and other components to assess compatibility and plan a successful migration.
Get started as a RHEL desktop user
You can become productive on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) desktop by navigating the GNOME environment, registering your system to receive updates, launching applications, searching for files, and configuring accessibility settings.
Core tasks
Build, deploy, and manage RHEL in image mode
Use image mode to manage Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) as a container-native operating system by building, testing, deploying, and updating bootc images by using the same tools and techniques that you use for application containers.
Automatically install RHEL at scale
Use Kickstart files to automate Red Hat Enterprise Linux installations across physical, virtual, and cloud environments, reducing manual effort and ensuring consistent configurations at scale.
Install RHEL on remote or headless systems
When a system has no local console access, you can install Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) over the network by using PXE or UEFI HTTP boot, and by connecting remotely through Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).
Install RHEL on local systems
You can deploy Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) on a local machine by creating bootable installation media, configuring system settings in the installer, registering the system to receive updates, and completing post-installation security hardening.
Upgrade in-place from RHEL 9 to RHEL 10
You can move to RHEL 10 without reinstalling by performing an in-place upgrade from RHEL 9 with the Leapp utility for small deployments or Ansible roles for large-scale environments.
Secure and harden base systems
Reduce the attack surface of your Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems by configuring FIPS mode, cryptographic policies, system integrity checks, sudo access controls, application allow lists, and encrypted volume decryption.
Go further
Establish and maintain network connectivity
Use Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) to establish and maintain network connectivity for your workloads, from basic Ethernet and routing through MPTCP, traffic shaping, and high-performance InfiniBand or RDMA networks.
Manage storage devices
Configure and manage local disks, partitions, RAID arrays, iSCSI targets, Fibre Channel devices, NVMe over Fabrics, and Stratis volumes to provision reliable storage for your Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems.
Automate consistent configuration and management at scale
Use Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) system roles to automate networking, storage, security, and service management across your infrastructure to reduce manual effort and enforce consistent configurations.
Protect network boundaries and transit data
Keep data in transit secure on Red Hat Enterprise Linux by configuring OpenSSH, firewalls, TLS encryption, IPsec and WireGuard VPNs, encrypted DNS, and MACsec for layer-2 traffic.
Comply with security standards
Use OpenSCAP on Red Hat Enterprise Linux to scan your systems for compliance with security baselines and remediate any deviations that violate regulatory or organizational requirements.
Prepare, build, and manage applications on your operating system
Set up your development workstation on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and use the supported toolchains for C, C++, Python, PHP, and Tcl/Tk to build custom applications.
