For offical usage with applications requiring commercial support, CERN purchased a limited number of Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server licenses. On top of this, since March 2022, CERN holds an academic site-license which allows for a certain usage of RHEL on the CERN site.
Since March 2022, CERN holds an academic site-license which allows for a certain usage of RHEL on the CERN site. This means that there is an unlimited number of licenses (which implies that there aren't any restrictions for its usage), any CERN employee can therefore create a RHEL virtual machine via Openstack.
Registered systems holding valid Red Hat Enterprise Linux license can be installed using the same methods as CC7.
A tool called `locmap` (Local Configuration with Masterless Puppet) helps to configure your machine with Linux support puppet modules and is installed by default with the CERN supported distributions
when 'Software Development Workstation (CERN Recommended Setup)' is select during the installation.
