RHEA-2026:14435 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

Red Hat Edge Manager Version 1.1.2

Description

Red Hat Edge Manager (RHEM) provides simple, scalable, and secure management for
edge fleets. Users declare their target OS image, host configuration, and
applications; the RHEM agent then automatically rolls out these configurations,
reporting health and progress status back to the manager.

Optimized for container-centric toolchains, RHEM excels on image-based Linux
(via bootc) and supports workloads running on Podman or MicroShift. It enforces
operational best practices by supporting both rootless and privileged execution,
ensuring workload user separation so applications run with minimal privileges by
default.

In addition to the standalone version, RHEM continues to be
offered as a plugin for the following platforms:

Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM): Extends fleet management to edge
devices.

Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform (AAP): Integrates edge management with
Ansible automation.

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.

• RHEM 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.
