Remote Host Configuration And Management For Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Red Hat News, Wednesday, September 20,2023
The Remote Host Configuration (rhc) command helps you connect Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) systems to the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console for configuration and management. This article is intended to provide information and knowledge to RHEL system administrators, and also discusses how rhc relates to existing tools, such as insights-client and subscription-manager.
When I started my journey with RHEL, it was version 7 and there was no talk of Simple Content Access (SCA). To run RHEL, systems had to be registered with Red Hat Subscription Management (RHSM), a Satellite server, or through an offline process to assign subscription entitlements using subscription-manager.
Over time, the Red Hat Insights service evolved. I wrote an introduction to it back in 2020. The insights-client command was developed for easy enrollment into the Red Hat Insights service. This later became the Hybrid Cloud Console, home to many other services related to RHEL, Red Hat OpenShift, and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform.
