Get oriented to the console
From within the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console, you can take guided tours of the console and its services, search for information to help you achieve your goals, or start using a service.
Here is a list of some of the tasks that you can perform:
- Find a service on the All services page and make it a favorite to easily find later.
- Configure the following global settings from the Settings menu under the gear icon (⚙):

- Connect your cloud provider accounts with the Hybrid Cloud Console to collect data, so you can use console services with your cloud providers.
