Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.5 Released
Notify your friends, loved ones, and colleagues that the latest version of RHEL is available with plenty of enhancements.
If you're a fan of Red Hat and Red Hat Linux Enterprise (RHEL), you'll be glad to know the latest iteration, version 9.5, has been released and includes more than 70 updates geared toward modern infrastructure, enhanced security for AI workloads, and more efficient workflows.
Some of the more important updates to RHEL include enhanced confidential computing for AI workloads, improved file management capabilities in the RHEL Cockpit web-based admin tool, a new system role for automated configuration at scale, hardened image configurations in the Image Builder, and BIND 9.18 for enhanced DNS.
For those who prefer to use the Cockpit GUI over the command line, the web console now includes a new file manager interface, so you don't have to rely on the command-line interface when working on files/folders remotely.
RHEL 9.5 also introduces significant improvements to networking, such as support in NetworkManager for IPsec VPNs that use IPv6 addressing as well as support for the leftsubnet parameter for IPsec VPNs (for more complex subnet-to-subnet configurations).
Another important addition is the sudo system role that enables automated sudo privileges at scale and improves security.
As well, Podman hits version 5.0 and enables single-command container management so developers can build multiplatform images using a single command.
You can read more about the latest RHEL release from the official Red Hat announcement.
