Red Hat Introduces Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Business
Developers, Aligning Application Development with Production

Consistency

New offering provides self-serve, no-cost access to Red Hat Enterprise Linux for enterprise
development use, fostering greater consistency and reducing friction for IT estates across the
hybrid cloud

July 9, 2025 – Red Hat, the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today announced
Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Business Developers to simplify access to the world’s leading
enterprise Linux platform for business-focused development and testing scenarios. A new self-
service offering through the Red Hat Developer Program, Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Business
Developers helps business development teams build, test and iterate on applications more quickly
and on the same platform that underpins production systems across the hybrid cloud at no cost.

IT complexity continues to grow, especially as applications deployed across physical, virtual,
cloud and edge sites intermingle with AI, cloud-native and virtualized workloads. Further
compounding this difficulty is a cybersecurity landscape seeing a continued upward trend in not
just software vulnerabilities, but also software supply chain attacks, according to the latest Red
Hat Product Security Risk Report. This dynamic climate underscores the importance of a reliable,
hardened and consistent platform across not just production environments, but also developer
workstations.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Business Developers directly addresses these concerns by providing
developers self-serve, no-cost access to a complete set of enterprise-ready, Red Hat Enterprise
Linux content for use within their businesses. It helps provide greater consistency and reliability
across developer and operations teams, regardless of where on the hybrid cloud the resulting
application will live.

Red Hat’s latest developer offering includes:
● Simplified access to the world’s leading enterprise Linux platform with the self-
service ability to entitle up to 25 physical, virtual or cloud-based instances per registered
user as a member of the Red Hat Developer Program. This helps mitigate friction with
operations teams by developing business applications on the same platform that runs
production workloads.
● Curated and signed developer content, including many of the latest open source
application programming languages, tools and databases necessary for building next-
generation enterprise applications.
