How often Red Hat releases the RHEL patches and upgrades?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
- All versions
Issue
- What is the ETA for the upcoming patch and security releases?
- What options are available to know if any patch released in the last few days?
- Does Red Hat release patches (errata) on a certain schedule -- like another software company does on the second Tuesday of each month (I.e. "Patch Tuesday")
Resolution
-
Red Hat does not have a fixed timeline for releasing
patches, therefore, they are released whenever they become available. -
Starting with the release of RHEL 8, minor releases are planned for release every six months through the Full Support phase. Please read Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and 9 Life Cycle for more details.
