Optional: Red Hat Dependency Analytics (shift-left)

Red Hat Dependency Analytics (RHDA) is an IDE extension that analyzes manifests such as pom.xml using Trusted Profile Analyzer intelligence.

In this workshop:

  • RHTPA (in the cluster) is the SBOM and advisory system of record — upload CycloneDX from syft here.

  • RHDA runs on an instructor or demo laptop IDE, not inside Showroom.

  • This catalog item does not deploy a full IDE stack on OpenShift.
