Fully patched against the Meltdown and Spectre security vulnerabilities, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5 integrates the Red Hat Ansible Automation tool with OpenSCAP, a collection of Open Source utilities for implementing and enforcing the Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) standard, and provides further integration with Microsoft’s Windows infrastructure in Microsoft Azure and on-premise. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5 also adds support for more securely unlock of Network Bound Disk Encrypted devices during boot up, process, implements a virtual data optimizer (VDO) technology designed to reduce data redundancy through inline deduplication and compression, leading to massive cost reductions for active storage and storing of monthly snapshots, and brings a much simplified management web-based interface for IT admins.
