With Red Hat Enterprise Linux now available in AWS GovCloud (US)
region, Red Hat brings cloud agility to U.S. government agencies
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), a leading provider of open source solutions,
today announced that Red Hat Enterprise Linux is now available in the
AWS GovCloud (US) region of Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS GovCloud (US)
enables U.S. government agencies and customers to move sensitive
workloads into the cloud by addressing their specific regulatory and
compliance requirements.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a scalable, high-performing enterprise
operating platform for secure computing. With its unique
Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) capabilities, Red Hat Enterprise Linux
is widely deployed in U.S. government agencies. Additionally, Red Hat
Enterprise Linux has completed 15 Common Criteria certifications across
four hardware platforms, earning Red Hat a place at the top of the list
of the industry's most certified operating systems, and giving customers
confidence to turn to Red Hat for the expertise to deploy open source
solutions at maximum security levels.
By making Red Hat Enterprise Linux available in the AWS GovCloud (U.S.)
region, AWS GovCloud (US) customers can deploy sensitive workloads on
the AWS cloud and benefit from the use of identical technology as Red
Hat Enterprise Linux deployments in their on-premises datacenters. As a
result, AWS GovCloud (US) customers will realize the added efficiencies
of a standard operating environment across multiple deployment scenarios.

resources that clouds like AWS GovCloud (US) provide, while still
deploying applications on Red Hat's secure platform, Red Hat Enterprise
Linux. On AWS GovCloud (US), agencies can use Red Hat Enterprise Linux
on demand, paying for only what they use, when they need it. As agencies
