RedHat has changed the terms of free use of the fully functional RHEL system. Previously, this was only available to developers and limited to one computer. Now, a free developer account allows the legal and free use of RHEL in production on no more than 16 machines, with self-support. Furthermore, RHEL can be used for free and legally in public clouds such as AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure.<\/p>\n

Today we\u2019re sharing details about some of the new no- and low-cost programs we\u2019re adding to RHEL. These are the first of many new programs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

No-cost RHEL for small production workloads<\/h5>\n

While CentOS Linux provided a no-cost Linux distribution, no-cost RHEL also exists today through the Red Hat Developer program. The program\u2019s terms formerly limited its use to single-machine developers. We recognized this was a challenging limitation.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re addressing this by expanding the terms of the Red Hat Developer program so that the Individual Developer subscription for RHEL can be used in production for up to 16 systems<\/strong>. That\u2019s exactly what it sounds like: for small production use cases, this is no-cost, self-supported RHEL. You need only to sign in with a free Red Hat account (or via single sign-on through GitHub, Twitter, Facebook, and other accounts) to download RHEL and receive updates. Nothing else is required. This isn\u2019t a sales program and no sales representative will follow up. An option will exist within the subscription to easily upgrade to full support, but that\u2019s up to you.<\/p>\n

You can also use the expanded Red Hat Developer program to run RHEL on major public clouds including AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure. You have to pay only the usual hosting fees charged by your provider of choice; the operating system is free for both development and small production workloads.<\/p>\n

The updated Individual Developer subscription for RHEL will be available no later than February 1, 2021.<\/strong><\/p>\n

No-cost RHEL for customer development teams<\/h5>\n

<\/p>\n

We recognized a challenge of the developer program was limiting it to an individual developer. We\u2019re now expanding the Red Hat Developer program to make it easier for a customer\u2019s development teams to join the program and take advantage of its benefits. These development teams can now be added to this program at no additional cost via the customer\u2019s existing subscription, helping to make RHEL more accessible as a development platform for the entire organization. Through this program, RHEL can also be deployed via Red Hat Cloud Access<\/a> and is accessible on major public clouds including AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure at no additional costs except for the usual hosting fees charged by your cloud provider of choice.<\/noindex>
\nBringing RHEL to additional use cases<\/p>\n

We know that these programs don\u2019t address every CentOS Linux use case, so we aren\u2019t done delivering more ways to get RHEL easily. We\u2019re working on a variety of additional programs for other use cases, and plan to provide another update in mid-February.<\/p>\n

We aim to simplify RHEL for users by removing various obstacles, adapting to the changing requirements of Linux users, our clients, and partners. This necessitates a constant evaluation of our development and business models to cater to these shifting demands. We believe that these new initiatives \u2013 along with future ones \u2013 will drive us towards this objective.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re making CentOS Stream the collaboration hub for RHEL, with the landscape looking like this:<\/p>\n
