Cluster management endpoints let you list, create, update, and delete clusters, like GET and POST on /api/clusters_mgmt/v1/clusters. Identity APIs under /admin/realms/{realm}/users handle creating users and connecting external login providers. Job templates automate repeatable maintenance, while errata endpoints like GET /katello/api/v2/errata surface available security fixes. Six prebuilt workflows chain these calls together, covering tasks like provisioning a job, inspecting a system, or triaging a high-risk advisor rule. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I list all errata that apply to a specific host using the Red Hat Satellite API? Use the GET /api/v2/hosts/{id}/errata endpoint, which returns the errata applicable to a single machine. Errata are Red Hat's published fixes and advisories for its software. There is also a broader GET /katello/api/v2/errata endpoint that lists all available errata across your environment. _daily.dev helps engineers tracking patch and vulnerability workflows stay current on Red Hat tooling changes._ ### What API endpoint creates a new cluster in Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager? A new cluster is created with POST /api/clusters_mgmt/v1/clusters. Related endpoints let you list clusters with GET /api/clusters_mgmt/v1/clusters, retrieve one cluster's details, patch a cluster's configuration, or delete a cluster you no longer need, all under the clusters_mgmt/v1 path. _Platform teams automating cluster lifecycles can track API changes like this on daily.dev._ ### How do I connect an external identity provider to a Red Hat cluster via API? Connect a login provider to a cluster with POST /api/clusters_mgmt/v1/clusters/{cluster_id}/identity_providers. You can first check existing connections with GET /admin/realms/{realm}/identity-provider/instances, which lists outside login providers already connected, and manage users directly with GET and POST on /admin/realms/{realm}/users. _daily.dev keeps identity and access management practitioners updated on API-driven provisioning._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Managing edge solutions with Red Hat: A layered approach](https://daily.dev/posts/managing-edge-solutions-with-red-hat-a-layered-approach-3txse8zxt) · Red Hat Developer · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Red Hat’s skill packs give AI agents something a bigger model never could: 20 years of institutional memory](https://daily.dev/posts/red-hat-s-skill-packs-give-ai-agents-something-a-bigger-model-never-could-20-years-of-institutional-onyqocvjh) · The New Stack · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Red Hat adds support for agentic AI development](https://daily.dev/posts/red-hat-adds-support-for-agentic-ai-development-fjklcqdyg) · InfoWorld · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Proximity automation with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform and Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization](https://daily.dev/posts/proximity-automation-with-red-hat-ansible-automation-platform-and-red-hat-openshift-virtualization-a5fdhgr5o) · Red Hat Developer · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Red Hat Expands OpenShift Application Development Environment](https://daily.dev/posts/red-hat-expands-openshift-application-development-environment-9febxassl) · Cloud Native Now · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#security](https://daily.dev/tags/security), [#kubernetes](https://daily.dev/tags/kubernetes), [#red-hat](https://daily.dev/tags/red-hat), [#iam](https://daily.dev/tags/iam) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/automate-clusters-user-access-and-patching-with-red-hat-vv06qvxzi) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Automate Clusters, User Access, And Patching With Red Hat","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/automate-clusters-user-access-and-patching-with-red-hat-vv06qvxzi","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/automate-clusters-user-access-and-patching-with-red-hat-vv06qvxzi"},"datePublished":"2026-10-27T16:19:44.924Z","dateModified":"2026-10-27T16:29:44.434Z","description":"Red Hat publishes APIs that let you manage clusters, user access, job automation, and vulnerability patching without clicking through consoles.
