Red Hat Enterprise Linux v10 introduces significant new features in several key areas, such as virtualization, container management, and network configuration, adding to the enhancements of version 8. In addition, RHEL 9 continues to build on the foundation laid by the systemd-based version 7, which revolutionized the administration of this operating system. With Red Hat 10, these tools and technologies have been enhanced and optimized, offering administrators greater flexibility, security and efficiency in managing complex enterprise environments.
