It can use Capsule Servers to place a subordinate copy of Satellite in remote business units or branch office, where it will perform patches and updates dictated by central Satellite server. Satellite 6 can perform discovery in a data center or cloud setting, finding servers that are underutilized. It also includes the Foreman open source tool for managing the lifecycles of both physical and virtual servers, the company said. Satellite 6 also has Git, the open source version-management system for keeping a system's independent modules of code synchronized. Puppet can go deeper into a server system to configure it than Red Hat's predecessor system could, the announcement said. Puppet replaces code from the Red Hat-sponsored project Spacewalk, which previously provided the management interface. It has included Puppet's management interface for configuring systems and support for working with Puppet Forge, the website where Puppet modules can be built and stored.
10, Red Hat has incorporated provisioning to public and private clouds, as named above. In Satellite 6, which became available Sept. Now it can manage RHEL workloads running under the Red Hat OpenStack distribution and the Red Hat OpenShift platform as a service, whether on-premises or in a public cloud - not surprising since the platform and distribution use the default OpenStack hypervisor, KVM, which is owned by Red Hat.
Satellite could previously manage Red Hat Linux on bare metal or virtualized servers under Red Hat's own Enterprise Virtualization system. That's one indication of how serious Red Hat is about providing a more up-to-date systems monitoring and management product. To expand Satellite 6's reach, Red Hat has shunted some of its own Spacewalk Project's code out of Satellite and brought in Puppet, Foreman, and other open source systems management modules.
Now it's going to manage RHEL systems in the cloud, as well. It was also in charge of each system's subscription management. Satellite has previously been the system for provisioning and configuring a new Red Hat Enterprise Linux system, patching and updating multiple RHEL systems across a data center, and managing their life cycles.
