Red Hat today announced an update to its virtual machine platform that now can run on the latest version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Version 4.4 of Red Hat Virtualization can now run on version 8.2 of RHEL.

Peter Lauterbach, a product manager in the Cloud Platforms group at Red Hat, said support for RHEL 8 is core to the company’s overall strategy to enable IT teams to run microservices-based applications simultaneously with existing monolithic applications.

In addition, Lauterbach noted that now that cloud service providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) support KVM, it is a lot easier to create a hybrid cloud computing environment by deploying Red Hat Virtualization in a local data center than it is to replicate a VMware environment in a public cloud.

The one thing that is certain is the more diverse the IT infrastructure environment is, the more difficult it is to manage.
