Red Hat Enterprise Linux available through Amazon EC2

Red Hat has announced that they are now making available their Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) service.

They have released a beta edition of this OS on this platform which provides hosting solutions for business software applications.

With this, customers would only be required to pay for the infrastructure software services and capacity they actually use.

Donald Fischer, vice president of Online Services at Red Hat added on this new service launch: “This offering will be appealing to developers, customers looking to quickly and cost-effectively deploy Web-scale services, and businesses that require rapidly scaled compute resources. The marriage of Red Hat Enterprise Linux with Amazon’s EC2 service makes the promise of professional Web scale computing a reality.”
