RHEA-2025:7787 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

Red Hat Edge Manager Version 0.7.1

Description

We are announcing the Technology Preview for Red Hat Edge Manager.

Red Hat Edge Manager (RHEM) Tech Preview provides simple, scalable, and security-focused management of edge devices and applications.
It supports image-mode RHEL and container workloads that run on Podman/Docker or Kubernetes.

RHEM will be offered as a plugin to Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management or Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform.

This integration enables organizations to optimize the management and orchestration of their fleets of edge devices; whether its thousands of dispersed retail point-of-sale systems or industrial machinery on remote factory floors.

Value for customers and partners:

• This solution not only helps customers manage thousands of devices but helps scale operations.
• To manage large-scale deployments, customers need to be able to integrate with their existing management systems, support remote configuration and over-the-air updates, and collect telemetry data for advanced analytics.
• Red Hat Edge Manager offers a simple and security-focused lifecycle management, from onboarding to decommissioning of edge devices.

This complete end-to-end solution empowers organizations to gain the most value from the fleets of devices that generate data, all from a centralized location.
