RHEL Natively on Linode
With the recent transition of CentOS to the stream model, and RHEL now being free to use with limited licenses, I would like to see an unlicensed image of RHEL that we can deploy ourselves. Then small users can deploy a few official RHEL nodes, and those of us that expand and need support can then choose to do so. I know I can install my own images but I’d like to see linode go this route.

We hear you! I've passed your feedback along to the team so we can look into providing RHEL in the future. In the meantime, as you noted, you can deploy RHEL as a custom distro.
@jyoo Almost 6 months later, how's it looking? :)
A little disappointing that no RHEL is provided yet -you can however deploy a Rocky image and convert to RHEL very easily by following these instructions.
A RHEL subscription is required. (no sub?) -Join the Red Hat Developer Program and register at developers.redhat.com
Don't forget that Rocky is clone of Redhat. (binary-compatible)
Have fun :-)
