Stability plus innovation:
Red hat will continue to deliver updates to enhance operations and deliver access to the newest technologies.
Freedom to Innovate:
Updates to RHEL application streams incorporate languages and tools like Nginx, Node, Perl, PHP, js, and Ruby to assist developers to build and deploy code through RHEL as a uniform environment. Giving updates through application streams allows developers and IT architects to experiment with supported versions of the newest tools while still having access to previous versions to sustain production applications.

So by offering configuration profiles and reporting to streamline compliance activities and lessen overhead, RHEL supports these attempts. The latest in RHEL 8.3 beta is the support for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Center for Internet Security (CIS) benchmark. New SCAP profiles support administrators configure RHEL systems as per the best security practices and quality measures or standards.
