Red Hat continued its momentum to capture a piece of the containerization market last week with the official launch of its new Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host operating system. According to Red Hat executives, this is a natural progression in the Red Hat ecosystem as more of the company’s customers embrace Docker and other containerization technologies.
“Today, with the launch of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Atomic Host, we are doing the same for Linux containers, bridging innovative open technology with the stability and security required by the enterprise,” said Jim Totton, vice president and general manager of the platforms business unit at Red Hat. “More than just an addition to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux portfolio, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Atomic Host showcases the future of the enterprise application, a powerful, flexible application greater than the sum of its parts, and entirely fueled by the power of open innovation.”
