The Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console ( https://console.redhat.com ) is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering that hosts services and applications available to customers.
The platform provides services for several Red Hat products. For example, you can use the OpenShift Cluster application to monitor your clusters and access reporting tools. Insights for Red Hat Enterprise Linux can alert you to security or stability issues with your systems.
For Ansible Automation Platform, the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console offers several services:
The automation hub service hosts supported Ansible Content Collections from Red Hat and its partners.
The Red Hat Insights for Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform service, named in the web interface, collects data from your automation controller systems and generates graphical reports that can help you better understand automation utilization in your organization.
Use your customer portal username and password to authenticate to the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console. To access the Ansible Automation Platform services, you need a valid Ansible Automation Platform subscription.
