Simple Content Access entitlement synchronization

Simple Content Access (SCA) simplifies subscription management by removing the requirement to manually attach entitlement keys to individual nodes. Insights Operator facilitates this by automatically retrieving and storing certificates as secrets within the openshift-config-managed namespace. These certificates allow the cluster to authenticate with Red Hat content repositories for operations such as entitled builds.

Entitlement secrets refresh automatically every 8 hours. While older configurations used a support secret in the openshift-config namespace, Insights Operator now prioritizes the insights-config ConfigMap in the openshift-insights namespace if both exist.

Note

Simple content access must be enabled in Red Hat Subscription Management for the importing to function.
