BrianFagioli shares a report from NERDS.xyz: Red Hat has introduced a new
option that gives developers a fast lane to enterprise-grade Linux without
needing to go through IT. The new release, called Red Hat Enterprise Linux
for Business Developers, is now available for free. It offers direct, self-
serve access to the same operating system used in production environments,
specifically for business-focused development and testing. The offering is
part of the Red Hat Developer Program and is designed to reduce friction
between development and operations teams. Developers can now build and test
applications on the same platform that powers critical systems across
physical servers, virtual machines, cloud deployments, and edge devices.
[...] Each registered user can deploy up to 25 instances, whether virtual,
physical, or cloud-based. The program includes signed and curated developer
content such as programming languages, open source tools, and databases. Red
Hat also includes Podman Desktop, its go-to container development tool,
allowing users to work with containers that can closely match production
environments. While access is free, developers can choose to purchase support
plans that tap into Red Hat's Linux expertise. This could appeal to
developers working in business units or teams that want to build quickly
without waiting on formal IT approval. This new option complements Red Hat's
existing free Developer Subscription for Individuals and the Enterprise
Developer Subscription for Teams, which is available through Red Hat reps or
partners.
