RHEL 10
RHEL 10 raised the minimum CPU baseline to x86-64-v3, which rules out some older servers, and introduced image mode for container-style OS deployment. It is the release to standardize on for new hardware.
We help decide where RHEL 10 fits: new builds, yes; existing RHEL 9 systems, generally no rush until the applications certify.
At a glance
| CPU baseline | x86-64-v3 (Haswell and newer, EPYC all generations) |
|---|---|
| New | Image mode (bootc), post-quantum crypto groundwork, Wayland-only desktop |
| Removed | Older Xeon E5 v2/v3 no longer meet the baseline |
| Lifecycle | 10 years from 2025 |

How we work
Linux fleets stay healthy through automation and discipline. We build servers from a standard image with Ansible, patch them on a schedule with a staging ring, keep SELinux or AppArmor on, and log everything to a central collector. The result is a fleet that looks the same everywhere and can be rebuilt from Git.
Migrations, whether CentOS to Rocky, RHEL 8 to 9 or Windows to Linux, are done per workload with a test pass, a cutover window and a rollback. We coordinate with application vendors and keep the paperwork for compliance.
Subscriptions and licences are reviewed as part of the work. Plenty of businesses pay for RHEL where Rocky would do, or run unsupported CentOS where a subscription would satisfy an auditor. We fix both directions.

Frequently asked questions
Will RHEL 10 run on my PowerEdge R730?
No. The E5 v3/v4 CPUs in 13G servers do not meet the x86-64-v3 baseline. Use RHEL 9 there.
