Labs for Red Hat Insights

This is a list of Labs where you can get hands on expereince with specific features or functions or Red Hat Insights.

  • Resolving issues with Red Hat Insights Advisor
    • After completing this scenario, users will be able to register a system with Red Hat Insights and remediate issues that the Advisor tool has identified on the system.
      Concepts included in this scenario:
      - Register a system with Red Hat Insights
      - View Insights Advisor results that are reported for the system on cloud.redhat.com
      - Apply a recommeded remediation for the system
      - Validate the remediation by updating system information
      Example Usecase:
      - Administrators want to know about problematic configurations prior to experiencing problems on systems. Insights Advisor will look at data provided to the Advisor service and compare it against known problematic configurations and not only warn administrators through the service, but provide step-by-step remediation instructions and often times an Ansible playbook which can remediate the issue.
  • Remediate vulnerabilities with Red Hat Insights
    • After completing this scenario, users will be able to identify vulnerabilities that affect systems registered to Red Hat Insights using the Red Hat Insights Vulnerability tool. They will also learn how to remdediate these vulnerabilities.
      Concepts included in this scenario:
      - View Red Hat Insights Vulnerability results that are reported for the system on console.redhat.com.
      - Apply a recommeded remediation for the system.
      - Validate that the remediation was successful.
      Example Usecase:
      - You need to report out what systems are impacted by a given vulnerability, or generate a report showing what CVEs may impact your fleet for auditing purposes.
      - Systems are impacted by a new vulnerability which a remediation exists for. Administrators would like to apply specific fixes to their systems without the need for broader system updates.
  • Using Red Hat Insights With SQL Server
    • After completing this scenario, users will be able to register a system with Red Hat Insights and resolve a recommendation provided for Microsoft SQL Server running on the machine.
      Concepts included in this scenario:
      - Register a system with Red Hat Insights
      - View recommendations triggered for the system on cloud.redhat.com
      - Remediate a recommendation for the system running SQL Server
      - Validate resolution by running the commands suggested by Insights
      - Confirm that SQL Server is running at the end of this exercise
      Example Usecase:
      - A system administrator running SQL Server on RHEL, is not yet familiar with all the best practices to run SQL Server on RHEL. The system administrator depends on insights to provide the proactive insights to configure their SQL Server instance on RHEL.
  • Edge management with Red Hat Enterprise Linux
    • In this lab, we will introduce the usage of Red Hat Edge Management on the Hybrid Cloud Console. 
  • Build custom images with Red Hat Image Builder
    • After completing this scenario, users will be able to define a Red Hat Enterprise Linux blueprint in the Red Hat Image Builder tool hosted on the Hybrid Cloud Console. Users will then take the resulting image and customize it for their needs.
      Concepts included in this scenario:
      - Using the Image Builder service to define a custom image.
      - Using local tools to further customize the resulting image.
      - Testing this image using a local virtual machine.

      ​​​​​​​Example use case:
      - Your organization has specific requirements for their system builds, and you would like to build those requirements into a custom image that you can then deploy to your public cloud provider.
  • Subscription Management with Insights
    • As an administrator, you commonly need to inquire into where you are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), and if you need to purchase more of it. The Subscriptions Service (aka Swatch) provides a means to look into this usage and make business decisions based upon it.
      Concepts included in this scenario:
      - Get an overview of your RHEL Subscription usage
      - Get a filtered view of your RHEL Subscirption usage
      Example Usecase:
      - You administer a fleet of RHEL systems, and need to keep your subscriptions within compliance.
