Optimize RHEL for edge and IoT deployments

This blog post offers in-depth strategies for optimizing Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) for deployment on resource-constrained edge and IoT devices. It discusses techniques for system minimization, identifying major space consumers, and RAM optimization methods while navigating the trade-offs involved in such optimizations. It includes practical steps like package removal, configuration management with Ansible, and automation using kickstart scripts, showcasing substantial reductions in disk and RAM usage for a minimal installation. This ultimately allows RHEL to fit into smaller storage like a 2 GB SD card, enhancing its viability for edge applications.
