How should I pay RHEL licences with RHEL based container

I am evaluating Openshift Container Platform for my company.

We will install it on top of RHEL.

Should I pay a licence for RHEL for each container that is built on tp of RHEL ?

Solution

  • Your OpenShift Container Platform nodes will have a RHEL subscription. When you build a container in OpenShift, and it happens on one of these RHEL machines, the subscription info will be available to the build, so that you can do things that you'd need a subscription for, such as yum install, etc.

    Running RHEL-based containers on OpenShift is also covered by the subscription on the OpenShift Container Platform node machines.
