No doubt CentOS and various other rebuilds will begin their build cycles shortly.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The release offers improved security, such as support for the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 specification for security authentication. It also provides enhanced support for the open-source nftables firewall technology.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;TPM 2.0 support has been added incrementally over recent releases of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, as the technology has matured,&#8221; Steve Almy, principal product manager, Red Hat Enterprise Linux at Red Hat, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eweek.com\/enterprise-apps\/red-hat-enterprise-linux-7.6-launches-with-improved-security\">told eWEEK<\/a>. &#8220;The TPM 2.0 integration in 7.6 provides an additional level of security by tying the hands-off decryption to server hardware in addition to the network bound disk encryption (NBDE) capability, which operates across the hybrid cloud footprint from on-premise servers to public cloud deployments.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">No user-servicable parts inside.
