Overall looks good, though I left a few suggested changes. In addition to those, can you please add an entry in the CODEOWNERS file so that you're able to effectively carry out the Plugin Owner Responsibilities?

What is DCM?
Data Center Management (DCM) is a strategic framework designed to centralize and automate the lifecycle management of IT infrastructure—ranging from bare metal to applications—to provide an on-premises, "hyperscaler-like" cloud experience.
The goal is to solve the problem of fragmented operations and lack of unified management by providing a policy-governed, data-driven platform that is technology-agnostic.
Core Components and Architecture
DCM operates as a Control Plane that manages data but delegates the actual execution of tasks to external systems.
• The Control Plane: This is the binder and presentation layer. It manages the service catalog, enforces policies, and orchestrates requests, but it does not perform the actual provisioning.
• Service Providers (SPs): These are external entities (software components) that register with DCM. They execute the actual provisioning work (e.g., spinning up a VM, creating a Kubernetes cluster, or deploying a database). Examples of providers include KubeVirt for VMs or AWS for cloud resources.
• RHDH Plugin: DCM includes a plugin for the Red Hat Developer Hub (RHDH). This plugin adds a tab to the software catalog, allowing developers to visualize the infrastructure resources (e.g., VMs, databases) consumed by their applications across different providers (AWS, Azure, on-prem).
