I don’t imagine this is really the kind of thing you can get into publicly but I’d love to know more about why a bank of all places doesn’t want to pay for RHEL

I don’t imagine this is really the kind of thing you can get into publicly but I’d love to know more about why a bank of all places doesn’t want to pay for RHEL and just go with the free fork instead.
- b112 5y agoThought? Nobody wants to pay for anything.
- simonh 5y agoThey may be wiling to pay for RHEL for some critical services, but there are a lot of things where a full RH sub doesn't make sense. Dev/test environments, non-critical services, web applications and applications with high parallelisation. You want to support as few OS variants as possible, so by using RH clones there this way you can have "can't tell by the taste" compatibility across all your systems. Plus it makes it easier hiring people.
