A new Satellite card is available on the Details tab of the System Details page. The card displays key Red Hat Satellite metadata from system tags. You can use the metadata to identify and filter systems by Satellite configuration attributes.

Each field value is clickable and redirects to the Inventory list view with the corresponding Satellite tag filter automatically applied.

The Satellite card is displayed only when Satellite-related tags are present on the system. If individual tags are unavailable, their values display as N/A.

Users can now subscribe to a periodic email report that summarizes upcoming Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) support and lifecycle changes across connected systems. Delivered at the start of each month, this summary helps infrastructure teams anticipate platform changes instead of reacting to daily alerts.

The monthly email report covers the following topics:

To subscribe to the monthly summary reports, navigate to User Preferences and enable the monthly aggregated report in Lifecycle under the Red Hat Enterprise Linux section.

Pen Drive is a disconnected variant of OpenShift Container Platform advisor, and is available as a Technology Preview. It now includes kube-compare functionality for template-based cluster drift validation in a Knative-native workflow.

This enhancement expands the existing disconnected cluster checking capabilities that were originally developed in collaboration with Nokia.

Cost management now includes a comprehensive API cheat sheet designed to help users integrate cost data with external platforms. The guide includes API examples and a Bruno collection to simplify exploring and automating cost management APIs. Bruno is a git-friendly, open source tool similar to Postman.

The following are examples of common external platforms:

Because cost management is API-first, all functionality that is available through the user interface is also available through the API.

New sample integrations demonstrate how cost management data can be consumed by external tools.

Three reference implementations are available for Grafana:

A sample integration with Lago demonstrates how to do the following tasks:

These integrations complement the existing PowerBI sample integration.

For more information about these integrations, see the upstream Project Koku.

The cost management learning library covers the most common onboarding and operational questions.

There are three new videos:

The following videos were updated:

Cost management now provides efficiency scores at the fleet, cluster, and namespace levels. These scores compare requested resources with actual consumption to help identify opportunities to improve utilization.

Each score includes estimated savings potential, enabling platform teams to prioritize optimization efforts and track improvements over time.

This feature helps organizations promote more efficient resource allocation and reduce infrastructure waste across OpenShift Container Platform environments.

Cost management now supports NVIDIA Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) environments. MIG technology enables a single physical GPU to be partitioned into multiple isolated GPU instances.

Cost management automatically detects GPU slices and allocates GPU costs proportionally to the workloads that consume them. The update provides more accurate GPU cost attribution without additional configuration from users.
