There are a few accounts you need to set up before interacting with RHEL AI.

Creating a Red Hat account

Creating a Red Hat registry account

Optional: Configuring Red Hat Insights for hybrid cloud deployments

Red Hat Insights is an offering that gives you visibility to the environments you are deploying. This platform can also help identify operational and vulnerability risks in your system. For more information about Red Hat Insights, see Red Hat Insights data and application security.

  • You can create a Red Hat Insights account using an activation key and organization parameters by following the procedure in Viewing an activation key.

    You can then configure your account on your machine by running the following command: 

    $ rhc connect --organization <org id> --activation-key <created key>

    To run RHEL AI in a disconnected environment, or opt out of Red Hat Insights, run the following commands:
