Chapter 11. Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host 7.7.0

Extras for some architectures and the rhel7-aarch64 image are discontinued

No more Extras content for the POWER9, IBM System z (Structure A), and the 64-bit ARM architectures will be pushed. The Extras content for RHEL architectures, such as AMD64 and Intel 64, the little-endian variant of IBM Power Systems, and IBM Z, remain supported for the duration of support of RHEL7. The rhel7-aarch64 image will not be updated to 7.7.

Rootless containers are available as a technology preview

Rootless containers are containers that are created and managed by regular system users without administrative permissions. This allows users to maintain their identity, including such things as credentials to container registries.

You can try rootless containers using the podman and buildah commands. For further information:

podman, buildah, and scopeo are now available on RHEL Workstation

The podman, buildah, and scopeo tools are available on RHEL 7.7 Workstation. Only UBI images are supported.
