Minimal ready-to-use Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.8 Update Services for SAP Solutions (E4S) Gold Image

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is one of the leading commercial Linux distributions developed by Red Hat, Inc. Reliable and secure, it provides the flexibility of the open-source code and the innovation of the open-source communities.

RHEL Update Services for SAP Solutions (E4S) is a SAP specific offering tailored to the needs of SAP workloads, that enables customers to stay within a specific minor release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) for up to four years, rather than upgrading to latest RHEL version every six months, allowing for a more stable production environment when necessary.

This is a minimal ready-to-use Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.8 Gold Image version locked to RHEL 8.8 minor version with Update Services for SAP Solutions (E4S). Mainly used as a common base system on top of which other appliances could be built and tested, it contains just enough packages to run within Azure, bring up an SSH Server and allow users to login.

Main highlights:

No RHEL8 subscription required.
Pay-As-You-Go with no upfront cost.
Azure Linux Agent and cloud-init are included.
Accelerated Networking is supported.
Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) is enabled.
All critical updates available at the release date are included.
