particularly cloud-native applications, but the business at large

simply do not have. Backed by Red Hat’s enterprise-grade support and our
robust technology portfolio, the latest installment of Red Hat Software
Collections helps developers gain access to the latest stable builds of
needed tools while holding true to the requirements of the broader
business for stable, supported production applications.”
