Red Hat development Model
Red Hat development Model¶
At Red Hat, we use an open source software development model to create our enterprise open source products and solutions. Red Hat developers actively participate in hundreds of open source projects across the IT stack.
We start with community-built open source software that meets the needs, partially or fully, of our customers. Red Hat builds upon these open source projects, hardening security, patching vulnerabilities, and adding new enterprise features.
We then contribute these improvements back to the original project for the benefit of the community as a whole.
As customers use our software, they provide feedback, submit bug reports, and request additional features as their needs shift. This input guides Red Hat’s development.
