With Red Hat's expanding portfolio of edge solutions, organizations often find themselves weighing multiple options: deploy standard Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), opt for Red Hat Device Edge , or implement Red Hat OpenShift at the edge? Whether you're planning your first edge deployment or optimizing an existing infrastructure, we’ll help you evaluate where Red Hat Device Edge fits into your strategy. This is a big topic, so we’re breaking it into 2 parts: Part 1 (this post): A decision framework to help you figure out when Red Hat Device Edge makes sense, how it stacks up against RHEL and Red Hat OpenShift, and where MicroShift fits in edge environments. Part 2 : An in-depth look into management strategies for Red Hat Device Edge—from package-based vs. image-based deployments to automation tools and how Red Hat Edge Manager is changing the game. At the end of this series, you’ll have a clear framework for making informed decisions about Red Hat Device Edge adoption and feel prepared to effectively manage it. Red Hat Device Edge might sound like a completely new product, but here's the interesting part: it's actually RHEL with a twist. Red Hat Device Edge binaries are identical to RHEL, but Red Hat Device Edge adds subscription-level differences and support entitlements. In other words, there's no technical difference between Red Hat Device Edge and RHEL; the magic lies in the subscription packaging and pricing strategy designed specifically for edge computing scenarios.
