Considering Red Hat RHAMP? Read This Guide Before You Agree to the Terms

If your Red Hat account team has raised the Red Hat Asset Management Program (RHAMP), this guide explains how the program works, what to check in the contract terms, how to prepare your subscription data, and how to use RHAMP reporting at renewal.

What's in the Guide

How RHAMP Works: From your first account team conversation to a partner statement of work.
Contract Terms: What to check before you agree to join.
Baseline Preparation: The entitlement and deployment records to validate before a partner baselines them.
Container and Cloud Counting: How virtualized, container, and BYOL cloud workloads are counted against your subscriptions.
Internal Coordination: Managing communication with Red Hat and your RHAMP partner.
Renewal Planning: Using RHAMP reporting to right-size your subscriptions at renewal.

An authorized partner produces your entitlement baseline early in RHAMP. The guide shows you how to get your own records right before that report exists.
