you can easily work with them
Respond quickly to patching
requirements using scalable automation
Red Hat Satellite
Provisioning Management
Provision to bare metal, virtual,
private, and public clouds
Automate using Ansible roles to
perform post-provisioning steps
Import non-provisioned hosts
Red Hat Satellite
Subscription Management
Centrally manage subscription usage
Maintain accurate inventory and
utilization information
Report on subscription consumption
Red Hat Satellite
Additional Satellite Capabilities
Configuration Management using
Ansible or Puppet
Automation through integration with
Ansible Tower
Compliance using OpenSCAP policies
Red Hat Satellite
Standard Operating Environment hosts
are the same across your environment
Reliable and Resilient Using Red Hat
Insights
Secure your systems are patched, up
to date, and compliant with security
policies
Confidence in your subscription utilization
How Satellite
Works
Red Hat Satellite
Deployment Models
Red Hat Satellite components
Red Hat Satellite Server
Facilitates multitenant services
Offers on-premise repository management
Gives user and group role-based access
control (RBAC)
Delivers powerful user interfaces (GUI, API,
and CLI)*
Exports content to other Satellite servers
Red Hat Capsule Server
Allows scaling of your
Satellite environment
Provides local content, provisioning,
and integration services
Discovers new physical and
virtual machines
*Graphical user interface (GUI), application program interface
(API), and command line interface (CLI)
Red Hat Satellite
Improve scalability
and automation with
capsule servers.
