[rhelv6-announce] Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.9 Now Available

[Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (Santiago) announcement mailing-list]

We are pleased to announce the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux
6.9, the latest version of our Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 platform.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.9 builds upon more than six years of
enterprise-proven success, offering a stable, proven, and predictable
foundation for organizations seeking to build and deploy large,
complex IT projects with confidence.

While emphasizing stability for existing IT investments, Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.9 also delivers:

  * New hardware support developed in collaboration with Red Hat
partners which helps to provide a smooth transition of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6 production deployments to Red Hat Enterprise Linux
7 environments.

  * Updates to TLS 1.2 to further enhance secure communications and
provide broader support for the latest PCI-DSS standards, better
equipping enterprises to offer more secure online transactions.

  * Access to an updated Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.9 base image which
enables customers to migrate their existing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
workloads into container-based applications - suitable for deployment
on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host,
and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.

Note that Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 enters Production Phase 3 on May
10, 2017, meaning that subsequent updates to Red Hat Enterprise Linux
6 will be limited to qualified critical security fixes and
business-impacting urgent issues.
