Isn't long term support Red Hat's thing? The ask isn't to support some random system, it's for RH to put out an official image and distro they support on cloud

Isn't long term support Red Hat's thing? The ask isn't to support some random system, it's for RH to put out an official image and distro they support on cloud providers and bake the licensing costs into the hourly runtime fees.
This is exactly how you consume Windows on AWS and it's a huge incentive to do it that way because it takes licences management out of consideration.

Red Hat doesn't supports RHEL on your blood if they don't believe they can trust you to help supporting RHEL, the way their customers expect. The easiest way is to run RHEL as the bare metal OS but it's not the only way. > This is exactly how you consume Windows on AWS and it's a huge incentive to do it that way because it takes licences management out of consideration. It's also how you consume RHEL on AWS, GCE or Azure.
