  Red Hat is an IBM subsidiary providing enterprise open source software
  including Red Hat Enterprise Linux, OpenShift, and Ansible Automation
  Platform, with cloud services managed through the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud
  Console. The Hybrid Cloud Console exposes REST APIs for subscription
  management, system inventory, vulnerability and patch management,
  notifications, RBAC, and other cloud services across hybrid environments.
  APIs use token-based authentication via service accounts (OAuth 2.0 /
  OIDC) following Red Hat's transition away from basic authentication.
