Bringing Red Hat Enterprise Linux to Windows Subsystem for Linux
The hybrid cloud is an innovation driver, whether pushing the enterprise technology envelope with breakthroughs like generative AI (gen AI) or simply making traditional IT more efficient and responsive through application modernization. Underpinning successful hybrid cloud strategies is choice - of architecture, of cloud provider and of technology stack.
While we see this technology stack starting with Linux, many enterprise IT organizations and developer teams have standardized on Windows environments. For developers that need to build Linux applications on Windows desktops, Microsoft provides the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), which allows for running Linux environments on Windows without having to spin up a traditional virtual machine (VM).
Red Hat is pleased to announce our intent to bring Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), the world’s leading enterprise Linux platform, to WSL.
