> Please, dear Red Hat, just give me a DigitalOcean VM (or something comparable) that costs a few dollars more and has automatic RHEL licensing. Make deals with the VM providers, work something out.

I think they do this on AWS and Azure (and maybe GCE?). DO may just not see enough of their enterprise customers asking for it for them to dispatch the lawyers and negotiators to make this happen.

Disclosure: Ex-Red Hatter, but never got anywhere close to anything related to sales or licensing.

Thanks for the hint! I will keep it in mind. Still waiting for the situation to really calm down. We'd rather not spend precious time and effort on changing clouds, and even if we did we'd still need to figure out the situation regarding bare metal and container images.

Most likely switching from DO to AWS or Azure is going to greatly increase your costs
