RedHat, the world's open-source solution vendor, announced the launch of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Atomic Host (Atomic Host) Operating System for next-generation applications and Linux containers ). Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 atomic host provides a set of components for easily encapsulating and running container applications. It is applicable to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7.

As a monolithic stack is replaced by an application composed of microservices, a container-based architecture can help enterprises implement agile and combined IT architecture more thoroughly. Based on the world's leading Enterprise Linux platform, the container-based architecture of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 atomic host greatly improves Deployment flexibility and simplifies O & M without compromising the original performance, stability, and security, and the value of Redhat's powerful ecosystem.

A Linux container-based application architecture requires not only tools to build and run containers, but also secure, reliable, enterprise-level infrastructure and stable product lifecycle, to meet the long-term and changing needs of enterprises. These requirements include secure security, continuous product updates, prospective diagnostics, and after-sales support services.

RedHat is committed to providing enterprises with comprehensive and integrated container infrastructure solutions, integrating the flexibility of container encapsulation with the advantages of Redhat's powerful infrastructure, in this way, the authentication application can be flexibly moved across environments-whether it is a bare metal, virtual machine, private cloud or public cloud environment. All these services provide stable product security lifecycles required by enterprise customers.

The release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 atomic host marks an important step for Red Hat to use Linux containers as stable and reliable components to deploy enterprise IT in an open hybrid cloud environment.

Enterprise-level container host

Red Hat Enterprise Linux atomic host is designed for Linux containers. to reduce costs and simplify O & M, it only provides the operating system components required to run containerized applications. At the same time, because it was built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, it inherits the stability and maturity of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, and can fully enjoy the powerful ecosystem of certified hardware partners.

Security is always the most important topic for enterprises. However, there are still some potential problems with container security attributes-how can we maintain the security of the container throughout its lifecycle? To eliminate worries about container security and lifecycle, Red Hat Enterprise Linux atomic hosts provide automatic and on-demand security updates, you can enjoy enterprise-level support and ultra-long lifecycle maintenance with Red Hat Enterprise Linux in a smaller image volume. From Heartbleed, Shellshock to Ghost, Red Hat customers can receive security notifications and product updates at any time, and access security tools without worrying about container reliability and security. This is a powerful advantage that RedHat provides dedicated container deployment for enterprise customers.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 atomic hosts have more advantages in the construction and O & M of container infrastructure:

• Atomic update and recovery are achieved through an update mechanism similar to an image. Atomic updates can be downloaded and deployed with one click, and earlier versions can be retained for easy recovery if necessary.
• Container images in Docker format can be deployed and run as application containers.
• Authentication and support: Red Hat platform images, such as a series of container trusts built under Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7, as well as certification containers provided by Red Hat ISV partners.
• Kubernetes enables large-scale container orchestration. Distributed services deployed between clusters of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 atomic hosts are integrated to create large-scale business applications.
• SELinux, cgroups, and kernel namespaces are used to isolate a single container in a multi-container environment, greatly enhancing the default security.
• The support for licensed containers allows hosts to manage a large number of applications and securely access hosts and other containers. These dedicated containers provide users with a way to install third-party software, and the atomic commands that come with the system make it easier to create and run these licensed containers.
• The application portability across open hybrid cloud is achieved by leveraging the huge authentication ecosystem of Red Hat, this allows you to implement hardware, certified system management programs (including Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, VMware, and Microsoft Hyper-V), and certified public Cloud services (such as AWS and Google Cloud Platform) deploy containers securely and stably.

Jim Totton, vice president of RedHat and general manager of platform business department

"Twelve years ago, RedHat released the first iteration of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which integrated pioneer software technology into the infrastructure and promoted the development of enterprise IT from server to cloud computing. Today, with the launch of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 atomic host, we have placed the same hopes and actions on Linux containers, bringing the most innovative open technology, together with the stability and security required by enterprises. The Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 atomic host represents not only the latest products in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux series, but also the future of enterprise applications. Through open-source innovative technology, it far surpasses its component combination form and is a powerful and flexible next-generation application ."

Masahiko Iwata, general manager of NTT Open Source Software Center

"With the advent of a powerful runtime environment such as Docker and Kubernetes that simplifies the entire lifecycle management of containers, Linux containers, as a technology, have the potential to be fully realized, it has brought revolutionary changes to PaaS. We firmly believe that, taking on the powerful Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 atomic host, the harder container platform, has further improved this goal. "
