Red Hat has released Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 Beta

Today, we are pleased to announce the beta availability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2, the latest version of the world’s leading enterprise Linux platform. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 beta includes a number of new features and enhancements – furthering Red Hat’s mission to redefine the enterprise operating system – while continuing to provide the stability, reliability, and security required to meet both the demands of the modern datacenter and next-generation IT requirements. A focus on security, manageability and system administration, as well as a continued emphasis on the functionality to build and deploy Linux containers, helps Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 beta provide enterprises a trusted path towards the future of information technology.

On the container front, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 beta provides improvements to the platform's underlying container support infrastructure (e.g. enhancements to OverlayFS and user namespaces). By continuing to refine support for container-based application development and deployment, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 beta can help enterprises feel more confident as they begin to containerize existing applications or develop new applications based on a microservices style architecture.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host, our container-optimized host platform (released on March 5, 2015), continues to be available with your Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription. Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host updates occur on a rapid 6-week sprint cycle, and therefore are not made available as part of the beta program.
