Redhat have announced the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.9, the latest version of our Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 platform. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.9 builds upon more than six years of enterprise-proven success, offering a stable and predictable foundation for organisations seeking to build and deploy large, complex IT projects with confidence.
While emphasising stability for existing IT investments, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.9 also delivers:
-
New hardware support developed in collaboration with Red Hat partners which helps to provide a smooth transition of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 production deployments to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 environments.
-
Updates to TLS 1.2 to further enhance secure communications and provide broader support for the latest PCI-DSS standards, better equipping enterprises to offer more secure online transactions.
-
Access to an updated Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.9 base image which enables customers to migrate their existing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 workloads into container-based applications – suitable for deployment on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host, and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.
Note that Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 enters Production Phase 3 on May 10, 2017, meaning that subsequent updates to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 will be limited to qualified critical security fixes and business-impacting urgent issues.More information on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux lifecycle can be found at: https://access.redhat.com/
