Hear what our partners are saying about Partner Subscriptions
[Red Hat Product Subscriptions] simplified the experience for our team to access Red Hat software and support when building environments for education and client demonstrations which are key things that our technical team do on a regular basis.
This has been one of the best early release programs I have been on. This has completely changed the outlook on our partner subscription and how we request and maintain them. Please keep this program, and expand on it. Keep up the amazing work!
