RHEL8 Alpha
Hi,
I saw that you can now open a support case against a rhel8 alpha, can you sign up for early access? When will it be accessible for normal subscribers?
Greetings

Back in the day, when I was still working for vendors, the only customers that tended to get alpha access were ones that were doing fairly exotic stuff that could only be accomplished by the alpha OS release. Even then the customer had to sign off on accepting that system availability was likely to be low, that any data hosted on or transformed by the alpha-release was subject to damage and loss, and that they needed to run with debugging/profiling kernels and crash-dumps enabled and loaded to the alpha program's support site on every crash-incident.
While Fedora is the upstream for Red Hat, it's never really felt like much more than "this is sorta what you might expect to be in RHEL in a couple years." Other than the way Hollywood uses the term "based on", Fedora's more a suggestion for what Red Hat might do with RHEL than being close enough that you could truly say "based on".
