OpenNebula Systems is expanding its enterprise cloud ecosystem through a collaboration with Red Hat, making Red Hat Enterprise Linux available as a built-in operating system option for both the hypervisor and control nodes within OpenNebula Enterprise Subscriptions.

With this integration, OpenNebula customers can deploy and operate cloud, virtualization, and AI Factory infrastructures on top of one of the world’s most trusted enterprise Linux platforms—fully supported and tightly integrated with the OpenNebula stack, with vendor-backed support from Red Hat.

Enterprise Linux, Built In

As part of the OpenNebula Enterprise Subscription, Red Hat Enterprise Linux is offered as an embedded operating system option for hypervisor nodes. This simplifies installation and lifecycle management while providing a secure, enterprise-grade foundation for mission-critical workloads.

By embedding Red Hat Enterprise Linux directly into the OpenNebula platform, customers benefit from a certified and security-maintained operating system, extended lifecycle maintenance, and a unified support experience across the operating system and cloud management layers.

Designed for Sovereign Clouds, Edge, and AI Infrastructure

OpenNebula is widely adopted for sovereign cloud platforms, virtualized data centers, NFV and edge environments, and emerging AI Factory infrastructures. The availability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux as a built-in option further strengthens OpenNebula’s ability to support regulated, performance-sensitive, and compliance-driven use cases.

Together with OpenNebula’s ecosystem of hardware and technology partners—including NVIDIA, Dell Technologies, Supermicro, Ampere, and others—this collaboration enables organizations to deploy secure, high-performance infrastructure across distributed environments, from centralized data centers to the edge.

A Fully Supported Stack from OS to Cloud Management

Enabling Red Hat Enterprise Linux on hypervisor nodes is a key component of delivering enterprise-grade cloud operations. OpenNebula provides end-to-end assistance for installation, configuration, and operational workflows, with access to Level 3 vendor engineering support for critical issues.

This delivers a fully supported stack—from the operating system layer to the cloud and virtualization management platform—helping organizations modernize infrastructure while maintaining stability, security, and operational assurance.

Simplifying Multi-Vendor Enterprise Cloud Adoption

This collaboration reinforces OpenNebula’s commitment to simplifying multi-vendor enterprise cloud adoption by combining open innovation with security-maintained building blocks. By integrating Red Hat Enterprise Linux directly into its subscription offering, OpenNebula enables customers to build flexible, compliant, and future-ready cloud and AI infrastructures with confidence.
