Red Hat Enterprise Linux

You can use the Deploy images to compute nodes task to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux. When you import the Red Hat Enterprise Linux ISO image, it will generate three different OS image profiles: Minimal, Basic and Virtualization. You can deploy any of these images to X-Architecture compute nodes.
