RHEL tends to contain a fairly limited set of packages. That's because of its strong focus on the enterprise.

It's a repository for RHEL and CentOS that provides many common packages that aren't included in the default RHEL release.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 is officially released today. There is no EPEL repository published to support it yet. On the Fedora wiki page the release date is marked as 2019.06.01. This may or may not change.
