Cloud-native infrastructure is still evolving, and one thing that's clear is the need for scalability and efficiency in managing your Red Hat OpenShift clusters. Hosted control planes (HCP) is a paradigm-shifting approach in OpenShift designed to optimize the way control planes are deployed and operated. For cluster service providers operating Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift, the HCP model aligns perfectly with the demands of modern infrastructure. By separating concerns of management and workloads, providers can achieve better resource utilization with high density control, help ensur

Unless you have been gifted with a photographic memory, this is likely going to sound very familiar. Picture it: You’re away from your desk and you need to access one of your apps from your phone. You attempt to sign in and get the dreaded message: “the username and password entered do not match our records.” Thus begins the time-consuming process of requesting a password reset, including coming up with a new password that doesn’t match something you’ve already used in the past. Despite the frustration you feel, passwords have been the cornerstone of keeping our online data secure fo
