From eng-partner-management at redhat.com Wed May 11 00:20:59 2016 From: eng-partner-management at redhat.com (Engineering Partner Management) Date: Tue, 10 May 2016 20:20:59 -0400 Subject: [rhelv6-list] Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.8 Now Available Message-ID: We are pleased to announce the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.8, the latest version of our Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 platform. Nearly six years into its lifecycle, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 continues to provide a stable, proven, and predictable foundation for organizations seeking to build and deploy large, complex IT projects with confidence. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.8 includes a number of new and updated features, including: * Libreswan, an implementation of one of the most widely supported and standardized VPN protocols, giving Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 customers access to recent advances in VPN security. * New capabilities to the Identity Management client code (SSSD), namely: * cached authentication lookup on the client reduces the unnecessary exchange of user credentials with Active Directory servers * support for adcli simplifies the management of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 systems interoperating with an Active Directory domain * support for user authentication via smart cards, for both system login and related functions such as sudo * A more streamlined system administration experience thanks to the inclusion of Relax-and-Recover, a system archiving tool that enables administrators to create local backups in ISO format that can be centrally archived and replicated remotely for simplified disaster recovery operations. * The simplified addition of packages via an enhancement of the yum tool adds intelligence to locate and streamline the process of locating required packages when adding/enabling new platform features. * Support for xfs filesystem sizes up to 300TB (when using the Scalable File System Add-on). Access to an updated Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.8 platform image which enables customers to migrate their traditional workloads into container-based applications ? suitable for deployment on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host. Today?s release also marks the transition of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 into Production Phase 2, a phase which prioritizes ongoing stability and security features for critical platform deployments.
