Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console

Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console is where you 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.

Product life cycle

The life cycle associated with a Red Hat product identifies the various levels of maintenance for each release of that product over a period from initial release—or general availability (GA)—to the end of maintenance. Red Hat subscriptions are not tied to a specific version, which gives you the ability to choose from multiple supported versions and upgrade on your schedule.

Product life cycles and update policies are published and easily accessible, so you know exactly when your product is approaching end of maintenance, and you can proactively plan and begin resourcing accordingly.

To access product life cycle information, select Products from the Customer Portal homepage main navigation. Under Top Resources, select Product Life Cycles to see the product life cycle application. Here you can select all products of interest to you and see a list of the major product support and release milestones.

For more detailed information, select Life Cycle and Update Policies in the top corner of the page. Here you will see a directory of life cycles and support policies for specific Red Hat products and offerings.
