Lets you migrate your existing workloads into container-based apps
Red Hat said that the updated Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.10 Beta base image could be used to migrate your existing workloads from computers running a previous release from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 operating system series into container-based apps, which make them suitable for deployment on newer Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 installations.
Of course, customers can also migrate their workloads to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform operating systems using the same technique. In addition, Red Hat lets you choose a supported major release to deploy your workload, free of charge, with an active Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription.
