Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 with High Availability
4.6
Overview
The Red Hat Enterprise Linux with High Availability image is the foundation to a clustered system that provides reliability, scalability, and availability to critical production services. A cluster is two or more instances (called nodes or members) that work together to perform a task.
Highlights
- Cluster infrastructure - Provides fundamental functions for nodes to work together as a cluster: configuration file management, membership management, lock management, and fencing.
- High availability Service Management - Provides failover of services from one cluster node to another in case a node becomes inoperative.
- Cluster administration tools - Configuration and management tools for setting up, configuration, and managing the High Availability Add-On. The tools are for use with the Cluster Infrastructure components, the high availability and Service Management components, and storage.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

What do you like best about the product?
I like is how dependable it feels in real world environment and rather then experimentation it is designed for consistency, means once something is configured and tested, it keep working in the same way over the time. there will be no changes after updates.
What do you dislike about the product?
somethings are much more limited in RHEL, such as subscription model, we need paid Subscription model to access official repositories and updates and also supports, some time for small firm it feels like restricted.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Is managing large number of systems efficiently also it can be stressed if there is No standardization, patching, configuration and compliance.

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like Red Hat Enterprise Linux because it's a lightweight and easily available OS with a wide variety of features. It's perfect for programming, DevOps, virtual machines, and especially Linux and Shell programming. I appreciate that it's a good beginner-friendly OS, which makes it suitable for both newcomers and professionals in Linux programming. It's very useful for reducing the load on BIOS. I also find its collaboration capabilities with cloud services and virtual machines to be great features. It's more secure and resilient, and I haven't encountered any problems with it. The setup is easy with guidance from knowledgeable authorities, and I've used it successfully with AWS Cloud and Azure Cloud.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I didn't like that it needs a knowledgeable person for installation. Rest is good in the RHEL OS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Red Hat Enterprise Linux solves the issue of bulky OS, being lightweight and useful for programming. It's easy on BIOS, collaborates with cloud services, and suits Linux programming from beginners to pros.

Stable Updates, Expensive Licensing
Reviewed on Apr 21, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate that updates from Red Hat Enterprise Linux are always stable, which makes it easier and gives me confidence to apply changes in any environment for validation. The libraries don't change or break suddenly, and the system is fully compatible with Docker images, which simplifies validations overall from the application. I also find the setup very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
License is very expensive. Libraries are not cutting edge technology, language version lagging behind on the releases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Red Hat Enterprise Linux for compatibility with Docker images and optimization for cloud deployments, making it easier and more confident to apply changes and validate environments.

What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate the security and virtual machine features of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I can easily spin up a virtual machine with minimal effort and utilize it for any use case or sandbox, while maintaining full security. The initial setup was very straightforward for me, especially since I was previously using Ubuntu LTS, so transitioning was seamless. If you're familiar with terminal and command lines, it definitely deserves a 10 out of 10.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not i can recall as of now. I was able to work and achieve everything
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

The Perfectly Supported OS for Academic and Professional Use

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate that Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a well-supported and very secure operating system, which is used for our machine learning experiments and teaching classes on Unix. It helps our students gain a deeper understanding of Linux. Also, it's great for production efforts using Linux-based software packages. The decent package manager makes it easy for administrators to install packages quickly, and we don't have to manage everything ourselves. There's also a good selection of packages that support a wide range of hardware and software projects. The initial setup process was straightforward, it detected all the hardware in our systems, and there were no problems with installation or learning for those new to Linux.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the differences between Red Hat and free linux versions students run at home or on laptops can be challenging for students. They often don't recognize the differences in package managers, such as RPM versus Ubuntu,'s apt which can add to the confusion. It would be nice if there was an automated facility that could help by suggesting the correct command and packages for the operating system in use. This would reduce the need for students to Google things so much, especially when they're debugging or dealing with package issues without full internet access. It would also be good if there was a package recommender using an LLM where you describe what you want and it suggests the packages to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Red Hat Enterprise Linux for a well-supported, very secure operating system suitable for machine learning experiments, teaching Unix classes, and supporting Linux-based software projects. Its package manager simplifies administration by making package installations quick and efficient.
