RHEL is a popular operating system for on-premises workloads, and customers often customize their RHEL images with security hardening and other organizational best practices. Now, you can start from your custom base images, and use Amazon EKS Anywhere tooling to build RHEL images for running Kubernetes clusters.
There are no upfront commitments or fees to use Amazon EKS Anywhere. You have the option to purchase Amazon EKS Anywhere Enterprise Subscriptions to get additional paid features as well as 24/7 support from highly-trained subject matter experts. To get support for RHEL, you can leverage your existing support contracts with Red Hat.
