Abstract

This guide provides an overview of and basic instructions for using the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console with FedRAMP® and its features.

Preface

As a Red Hat Hybrid Cloud user, you can use services for the public cloud, private clouds, and on-premises infrastructure. Use this guide to learn how to configure global settings for your Red Hat account and to learn more about cloud services available in the Hybrid Cloud Console.

Prerequisites

  • You are logged in to the Hybrid Cloud Console with your Red Hat account.
  • You are using a supported web browser. For details about web browser requirements, see the Browser Support link at the bottom of the Hybrid Cloud Console landing page.

Chapter 1. What is the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console?

You can use the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console to access a comprehensive set of hosted services from a single interface. The Hybrid Cloud Console provides the content, tooling, and visibility developers and IT administrators need to build, deploy, and optimize workloads across the hybrid cloud.

From the Hybrid Cloud Console, you can connect with your various platforms and then centrally manage and automate your hybrid cloud and the deployments within it. Use the Hybrid Cloud Console to manage your Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) infrastructure, Red Hat OpenShift clusters, and application services.

You can perform the following tasks from the Hybrid Cloud Console:

  • Use Red Hat Insights to reduce risk and downtime, improve compliance, and optimize spend for your RHEL and Red Hat OpenShift resources.
  • View information about your RHEL systems and Red Hat OpenShift clusters nodes from a single interface.
  • Manage, update, and deploy different types of Red Hat OpenShift clusters and install cluster add-ons.
  • Deploy applications on Red Hat OpenShift.
  • Manage security policies and build pipelines.

1.1. Red Hat Enterprise Linux on the Hybrid Cloud Console

The Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console provides a centralized view into operations, security, and subscriptions for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).

Through tooling, rule-based analytical models, and the support of Red Hat, you can use the console to streamline many of the tasks and analysis required to build and deliver a stable and secure environment for applications on RHEL.

Additional resources

1.2. Red Hat OpenShift on the Hybrid Cloud Console

The Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console provides centralized reporting and management for Red Hat OpenShift clusters. Using the OpenShift Cluster Manager service, you can streamline and simplify how operators create, register, and upgrade Red Hat OpenShift clusters across supported environments. Clusters contains your OpenShift cluster inventory, and provides the ability to create, manage, and delete OpenShift clusters.

Chapter 3. Hybrid Cloud Console User Access

The User Access feature is an implementation of role-based access control (RBAC) that controls access to various services hosted on the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console. Users with the Organization Administrator role use the User Access feature to grant other users access to services hosted on the Hybrid Cloud Console. An Organization Administrator can assign the special role User Access Administrator to other users who do not have the Organization Administrator role. Users with the User Access Administrator role can manage user access on the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console.

User access on Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console uses an additive model, which means that actions are only permitted, not denied. To control access, users with the Organization Administrator role assign the appropriate roles with the desired permissions to groups, then add users to those groups. The access permitted to an individual user is the sum of all roles assigned to all groups to which that user belongs.

Additional resources

3.1. The User Access groups, roles, and permissions

User Access uses the following categories to determine the level of user access that an Organization Administrator can grant to the supported Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console services. The access provided to any authorized user depends on the group that the user belongs to and the roles assigned to that group.

  • Group: A collection of users belonging to an account which provides the mapping of roles to users. An Organization Administrator can use groups to assign one or more roles to a group and to include one or more users in a group. You can create a group with no roles and no users.
  • Roles: A set of permissions that provide access to a given service, such as Insights. The permissions to perform certain operations are assigned to specific roles. Roles are assigned to groups. For example, you might have a read role and a write role for a service. Adding both roles to a group grants all members of that group read and write permissions to that service.
  • Permissions: A discrete action that can be requested of a service. Permissions are assigned to roles.

3.2. Viewing your permissions to services

Your Organization Administrator grants and manages your access to the different services in the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console. You can view your permissions for each service on the console.

Prerequisites

  • You are logged in to the Hybrid Cloud Console.

Procedure

  1. Click your user avatar in the upper right of the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console window. A drop-down list appears.
  2. Click My User Access. The My User Access page opens.
  3. Select a services group, for example Red Hat Enterprise Linux. A table of services appears. Your permissions are listed in the Operation column.

Chapter 4. Notifications on the Hybrid Cloud Console

Services in the Hybrid Cloud Console send notifications when certain events occur. Your Organization Administrator configures which notifications you can receive. You can choose how to receive notifications or not to receive them at all. You can also view the types of events for which notifications can be sent.

4.1. Managing notifications in the Hybrid Cloud Console

You can choose how to receive notifications that your Organization Administrator or Notifications administrator has configured. You can also choose not to receive some or all notifications.

Note

If you are an Organization Administrator or Notifications administrator, you configure the notifications for users in your organization from Settings > Notifications. For detailed information, see Configuring notifications on the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console with FedRAMP.

Prerequisites

  • You are logged in to the Hybrid Cloud Console.
  • Events are configured in the console.
  • A Notifications administrator or Organization Administrator has configured behavior groups to receive event notifications.

Procedure

  1. Click your user avatar in the upper right of the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console window. A drop-down list appears.
  2. Click User Preferences. The My Notifications page opens.
  3. Select the service you want to configure your notifications for, such as Advisor or User Access. A list of the available event notifications for the selected service opens.

  4. At the top of the list, click Select all to enable all notifications for the service, or select one of the following options for each event listed:

    • Weekly report: Receive an email that contains the Advisor Weekly Report.
  5. Click Save to confirm your changes. Email notifications are delivered in the format and frequency that you selected.
Note

If you decide to stop receiving notifications, select Deselect all or uncheck the boxes for the events you do not want to be notified about, and then click Save. You will no longer receive any email notifications unless you return to this screen and enable them once again.
