Supported platforms for Ensemble are listed here, for InterSystems IRIS here.

If you don't want to use RHEL you can choose between:

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Oracle 7
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12

I prefer Ubuntu.

As to Supported Server Platforms, it might be even Ubuntu 18.04 LTS for x86-64 rather than 16.04.

And what about RHEL 8? Which IRIS version will be supported under this OS?

Thanks, Alexander.

Do you know by chance, why RHEL 8 listed as a platform for IRIS 2019.1.1 was excluded from the list for (unreleased) IRIS 2019.1.4 and even for (pre-released) 2020.1?

No, Alexey, for 2020.1 I don't know.

And for 2019.1.4 -- I don't know what version is this.

As to Supported Server Platforms, it might be even Ubuntu 18.04 LTS for x86-64 rather than 16.04.

Question was about Ensemble initially which supports 16.04. InterSystems IRIS Supports 18.04.

And what about RHEL 8? Which IRIS version will be supported under this OS?

Asking @Andreas Dieckow to comment.

Hi Cristiano,

to answer your question:

I'd use Canonical Ubuntu (great commercial proposition + technology) and
SUSE
