# Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8
The current state of RHEL 8.6 support is very alpha. It is possible to install a system and install packages provided by Red Hat.
The configuration management is done with Puppet like for RHEL 7.
The current state of RHEL 8.6 support is beta.
The central infrastructure (automatic provisioning, upstream package synchronisation and Puppet) are stable and production ready.
The configuration management is done with Puppet like for RHEL 7. RHEL7 and RHEL8 hosts can share the same hierarchy in Hiera and thus also the "same" configuration. In cases where the configuration for RHEL7 or RHEL8 differs, the idea is to have both in parallel in Hiera and Puppet shall select the right one.

So please restart the machine (so it loads the right kernel) and run `puppet agent` again to finally start and enable the `yfs-service`.
### AFS cache partition not created due to existing XFS signature
It can happen when upgrading an existing RHEL 7 installation that the puppet run produces
