Open source solution provider Red Hat announced Monday that it will collaborate with Google to enable Red Hat customers to move eligible Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscriptions to Google Compute Engine using Red Hat Cloud Access.
Google joined the Red Hat Certified Cloud Provider program last November and a month later made available the Google Compute Engine Platform, which put the company in direct competition with Amazon Web Services and marked the Internet giant’s step into the Infrastructure-as-a-Service space. RHEL is already available on AWS through its EC2 platform.
