Red Hat announces the availablity of RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) via Amazon EC2 on-demand and with pay-as-you go pricing.
Red Hat expands its relationship with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and through expanded relationship allows Red Hat's customers to not only have the ability to bring their own licenses to AWS, but customers can now purchase supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux via AWS's on demand, pay as you go Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). While this new offering isn't available yet, Red Hat says it will be available in the coming weeks, to customers worldwide in every AWS Region.
According to Red Hat, using the AWS management console, EC2 users can quickly procure and provision EC2 instances preconfigured with supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 and only pay for the hours that they consume.
"Giving developers broad access to Red Hat Enterprise Linux using Amazon EC2 is an important step in our evolution in the cloud," said Scott Crenshaw, vice president and general manager, Cloud Business at Red Hat. "This is about giving customers and developers choice on how they deploy Red Hat Enterprise Linux and work to build the industry's next-generation applications."
