RHEL is free for up to 15 instances (including prod), and 9.1 has pleasantly current packages. It’s a solid choice for startups and small teams who need to minimize time spent on infrastructure.
- jacooper 4y agoI found the one year renewal thing annoying, but other than that it looks to be really good! Just the auto kernel update part is left
- e1g 4y agoKernel live patching helps to guard against major security and bug issues and is fully automated in RHEL via kpatch.
- jacooper 4y agoBut it's paid, I don't necessarily need livepatching, just auto restarts to update the kernel
- e1g 4y agoNot quite sure which scenario you mean, but both of these work in the official RHEL distro that is free for up to 15 instances: 1. Restart is ok: automatically apply all security updates as they come out ("dnf-automatic), then restart if required ("needs-restarting -r"). 2. Restart is not ok: automatically apply all kernel patches as they come out("kpatch auto")
