    Hi Onur, thanks for creating this AHA idea for Instana Self-Hosting.

    I understand that you want RHEL 9 on the officially supported Operating System list for the backend and that many of your customers are using it. We see infrequent usage of RHEL 9 yet, most installations are still based on RHEL 8.
    Since we already have customers using Instana Self-Hosted on RHEL 9, it might just work. I see the Instana agent support RHEL9 already. Meanwhile, I will open this idea to the public, so we can gather votes. I will update you here once we are closer to adding official support.
