Red Hat Partners Champion Image Mode for Red Hat Enterprise Linux to Accelerate AI InnovationRed Hat, Inc., the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today announced support across its partner ecosystem for image mode for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, a new deployment method that places containers at the core of the enterprise operating system. With image mode, Red Hat partners across the hardware and software spectrums have an easier, streamlined pathway for testing and deploying Red Hat Enterprise Linux-certified applications. As technologies like AI extend traditional CI/CD and other software pipelines, image mode helps partners cut through increasingly complex and time-sensitive computing environments. With containers as the platform's building blocks, individual components of certified applications can be updated via singular containers, rather than monolithic updates or traditional patches, helping partners and their end users move faster and with greater control. Image mode changes the delivery paradigm for the world's leading enterprise Linux platform. Image mode builds on the success of container-native open source projects like bootc to make the core operating system manageable like any other container application workflow. This means that the same tools partners already use in containerized CI/CD pipelines, content scanning or management can be used in updating their Red Hat-certified applications. Containers can become significant update channels for Red Hat Enterprise Linux-certified applications, enabling vendors to push specific, targeted updates to customers depending on their unique applications or appliances. For edge deployments, partners can benefit from image-based updates and rollback to unlock faster time to value while also bolstering security and reliability, which is especially crucial for edge systems. Image mode for Red Hat Enterprise Linux is currently available as a Technology Preview via Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4 and under evaluation by leading independent software vendors (ISVs), original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and hardware vendors. In addition, all Red Hat Enterprise Linux-certified hardware is supported by image mode. With support across its diverse and skilled partner ecosystem, Red Hat is enabling customers to tackle pressing challenges when building, deploying and managing an operating system at scale while also establishing critical workflows to build intelligent applications with integrated AI capabilities.
