3.3. OpenShift Container Platform updates
3.3.1. Cost Management
Cost Management Metrics Operator 4.0 and 4.1
The Red Hat Lightspeed cost management service processes the data gathered by the OpenShift agent, the Cost Management Metrics Operator. Two new versions of the operator have been released within a short period of time.
CMMO 4.0 brings FIPS compliance and enhancements for chargeback of OpenShift Virtualization.
FIPS 140-3 compliance External
The Federal Information Processing Standard 140-3 (FIPS 140-3) is a US Government computer security standard for cryptographic modules. It is mandatory for the protection of sensitive and/or valuable data in Federal systems.
Red Hat has been shipping FIPS 140-3 compliant modules since OpenShift 4.11, but the Cost Management Metrics Operator still used a RHEL 8 base container image that only provided FIPS 140-2 compliance.
Since the release of Cost Management Metrics Operator 4.0, the operator now uses a RHEL 9 base container image that provides FIPS 140-3 compliance. In addition, the operator is now built with FIPS 140-3 compliance. This change is transparent to all users, whether or not FIPS is enabled in your OpenShift clusters.
For more information about FIPS, refer to:
Hourly chargeback of OpenShift Virtualization
Since December 2024, Red Hat Lightspeed cost management supports the chargeback of OpenShift Virtualization virtual machines, regardless of operating system version. Find all the details in the March 2025 blog post Charge back the cost of OpenShift Virtualization with Red Hat Lightspeed cost management.
To offer more precise calculation for OpenShift Virtualization costs, Cost Management and Virtualization now provide and consume metrics that allow for hourly chargeback. This change requires you to install the Cost Management Metrics Operator 4.0 and OpenShift 4.19.

Red Hat Lightspeed advisor is fully open source
The Red Hat Lightspeed advisor service is now open source. Previously, only the advisor engine (backend) was open source. Now all of the service is open source and can be distributed to our customers through Satellite under open source license. This adds more value to advisor users, especially disconnected Satellite users.
New advisor service recommendations
The Red Hat Lightspeed advisor service detects and recommends solutions for the following issues:
- AWS instances are intermittently going into a hung state when ena network driver is being used on edge computing systems
-
Unexpected system reboots occur when running the
ethtool -dcommand on the NICs that use the qede driver - Performance degradation and incomplete uploads occur when the lftp-4.8.4-4.el8_10 package is installed
- XFS V4 has been deprecated since RHEL 9 and support has been removed since RHEL 10
- Notify customers that Red Hat provides leapp utility to support upgrade from RHEL 9 to RHEL 10
- The non-gfs2 filesystem fails to unmount due to insufficient timeout to unmount it
- Kernel panic will occur after reboot when using Xen HVM on intel CPU
- Kernel panic occurs on Intel® Core™ 13th and 14th Gen desktop processors due to Vmin Shift Instability issue
- The system hang occurs when the maildrop directory under /var/spool/postfix is missing
4.2.4. Vulnerability
Cross-linking between advisor and vulnerability for high-visibility security rules
When Red Hat identifies a high-visibility vulnerability, Red Hat Lightspeed creates a security rule and cross-links the security rule between the advisor rule and the CVE in vulnerability. This helps you to tailor your response based on additional information.
Filter by operating system versions in CVE lists
You can now filter by operating system version in CVE Lists to help you prioritize your remediation efforts.
New “Report by operating system versions”
The new Report by operating system versions vulnerability report addresses the level of exposure in out-of-the-box versions of RHEL. This new capability allows Red Hat Lightspeed to more effectively assess the security posture (from a CVE perspective) of your RHEL instances. By understanding the potential vulnerabilities and risks present in default configurations, you can make more informed decisions about upgrades and prioritize them more strategically.
4.2.5. Compliance
Upcoming compliance APIv1 deprecation notice
The Red Hat Lightspeed compliance APIv1 will be deprecated on August 8, 2025, and switched off on September 5, 2025. The new version of the API is available at Detail of Cloud Services for RHEL Compliance API v2.
4.2.6. Tasks
New troubleshooting tasks
The following two new tasks are available to help you troubleshoot your RHEL systems and the tasks execution framework that Red Hat Lightspeed uses:
-
ping- executes a ping command on the system to prove the execution framework is working without attempting any changes on the system -
insights-client- initiates a Red Hat Lightspeed client check-in immediately, rather than waiting for the next scheduled collection
4.2.7. Patch/Content
Content templates support layered products
When defining content that you want to install and patch with content templates, you can include the following layered products, in addition to RHEL, EPEL, and custom repositories:
- High Availability Add-on
- OpenShift Container Platform
4.2.8. Image Builder
Improvements to Microsoft Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) images
The configuration for RHEL images for WSL has been improved. After downloading WSL, the WSL images will now display the correct Microsoft icon for WSL images. Additionally, the image has cloud-init pre-installed.
Improvements to configuration options
The following configuration options are now more clearly explained and easier to use, such as with drop-down lists to select valid responses:
- Systemd services
- Firewall
- Timezone
- Locale (keyboard)
- Users
Automatic registration to Satellite is now in production
When building an image, Register with Satellite is now an option to pre-configure in the image. This will ensure that when you provision systems from a template image, the systems automatically register back to the Satellite server.
New features available for testing in Preview
The following features are available to test in Preview:
- Selection of custom security compliance policies defined in Red Hat Lightspeed compliance
- Selection of Red Hat Lightspeed content templates to better control which sets of repositories and RPM content snapshots flows into the build.
Upcoming decommission of Launch service in Image Builder
As of August 31, 2025, the Image Builder Launch service will be discontinued. You will no longer be able to launch instances directly from custom images by using this service. After this date, you must launch your custom images by following the cloud provider’s, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, or Red Hat Satellite standard procedures.
4.3. OpenShift Container Platform updates
4.3.1. Cost Management
Project-based costs
Red Hat Lightspeed cost management now has project costs, which allow you to set prices per OpenShift project. To avoid human mistakes (for example, setting an additional charge for control plane projects), this rate is tag-based: you must set the tag key (and optionally, the value) you want to charge based on. It is possible to define many project-based charges. For example, you might want to set a minimum charge for the privilege of having a project in some cluster and then also an additional charge per SLA.
Quota-based pricing was already possible at the cluster, node, and physical volume claim (PVC) level. With cost management, you can create price lists for on-premise OpenShift clusters, or for additional cloud charges, based on many metrics: cluster, node, storage, CPU, memory, and others.
Czech Koruna (CZK) currency support
Red Hat Lightspeed supports the Czech Koruna in cost models, cost explorer, API and some reports, and other areas of cost management.
