What is Red Hat? Everything You Need to Know About It!

What is Red Hat – and why is it such a big deal?

If you think Red Hat is just some software company,
pause right there. Because it’s not just about code—it’s a culture.
Born in 1993, Red Hat brought open-source to the enterprise world… and shook things up.
It’s not “install and forget” stuff. It’s a philosophy.

Their crown jewel: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
Enterprise-grade
Secure
Scalable like a beast

“Windows? Closed box.
Red Hat? Open kitchen!”


So what does Red Hat actually do?

Imagine the tech world is a human body—Red Hat is the core muscle.
You may not see it, but everything runs on it.

🔧 Use cases?

  • Server domination: Over 80% of enterprise servers run Linux, and Red Hat leads the charge.

  • Cloud-native hero: OpenShift rules the container game.

  • Automation king: With Ansible, manual work becomes ancient history.

  • Security guard: SELinux = digital body armor. Try hacking that.

TL;DR: No Red Hat = No system.
Simple as that.


What makes Red Hat different?

Sure, you’ve heard of Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS...
But Red Hat? It’s the premium package.

Saying “I know Linux” sounds fine…
But saying “I’m RHCSA certified”? Now that turns heads.
