description: >-
  Red Hat's sandbox surface is a free, no-commitment trial environment rather
  than a payments-style test-mode with magic values. The Developer Sandbox gives
  a private, time-boxed slice of a shared multi-tenant OpenShift cluster
  pre-provisioned with select Red Hat technologies, reachable through the same
  console/API surface as production. No fabricated test credentials are recorded;
  the sandbox is provisioned per-user against a real Red Hat developer account.

notes: >-
  For the console.redhat.com service APIs, authentication in the sandbox/trial
  uses the same offline-token -> bearer-token flow as production
  (authentication/red-hat-authentication.yml); there is no separate test-key
  prefix or magic identifier scheme. Product trials for AAP, Satellite, and RHEL
  are available under developers.redhat.com/products.
