Document URL: RHEL 8.2 release notes

Section Number and Name: 

Describe the issue: The Web Console got redesigned to use the PatternFly 4 user interface style (https://pf4.patternfly.org/). This provides better accessibility, and matches the style of OpenShift 4.

The landing page ("Overview") has been completely redesigned. Information is grouped into easier to understand panels, health information is much more prominent, the resource graphs have been moved to their own page, and the hardware information page should now be easier to find.


Suggestions for improvement: 


Additional information: 

Original PatternFly 4 redesign happened in https://cockpit-project.org/blog/cockpit-198.html . Since then the menu went back to a dark background, a current screenshot is in https://cockpit-project.org/blog/cockpit-209.html (including the new Overview). But please do screenshots from an actual RHEL 8.2 machine, as the upstream ones have too many Fedora and developer specific items.
