Chapter 2: RHEL8 Advanced Installation Options

In the previous chapter, we learned how to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux, or RHEL, on a physical or virtual machine so that we use it while we're reading this book. In this chapter, we will review how to use RHEL instances in the cloud and the main differences that appear when doing so.

You will also learn not just how to deploy a system, but the best choices to do so, and be able to perform the deployment in an automated fashion.

To complete the installation, a section on best practices has been included so that you can start avoiding long-term issues from day one.

These are the topics that will be covered in this chapter:

Automating RHEL deployments with Anaconda
Deploying RHEL on the cloud
Installation best practices
