Red Hat Satellite 6: Better server and cloud Management

Red Hat Satellite 6: Better server and cloud Management

Not only the Red Hat Enterprise Linux administrator, but even all the staff who manage the Red Hat cloud will fall in love with Red Hat Satellite 6. RHS 6 inherits the full lifecycle management methods of previous versions, including software, patches, configuration management, and subscription management of physical, virtual, and cloud.

There are many ways to manage Linux. Some people use their self-tuned shell scripts, and some may like advanced tools like cPanel to manage coarse lines. But for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), the best tool is Red Hat Satellite-RHS.

RHS 6 integrated with Puppet can be used as a data center or cloud management tool

Red Hat administrators will become increasingly popular with RHS. RHS 6 inherits the full lifecycle management methods of previous versions, including software, patches, configuration management, and subscription management of physical, virtual, and cloud.

In addition, there are some new features:

• Bare metal, private cloud, and public cloud configurations: Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, OpenStack, VMWare, or Amazon EC2 configurations can be used.
• Integration of puppet and git: to facilitate management of configuration in multiple environments.
• Joint Cycle Management: RHS 6 can now perform joint configuration and content delivery through the capsule server.
• Drift repair: complete change records are used to define the system status and perform automatic repair.
• System discovery: allows you to quickly deploy a host that is not configured.

Other important functions of RHS 6

RedHat claims that RHS 6 will provide a simpler management end and a set of more convenient management methods for full lifecycle management.

In addition to RHEL management, RHS can also manage Red Hat OpenStack Platform, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization alization, Red Hat Storage, Red Hat Directory Server, Red Hat Certificate System, and OpenShift Enterprise, red Hat PaaS.

The new RHS Capsule server is highly scalable, said raleweigh, a network-based computer company. It can be managed locally, rather than centrally, to avoid network bottlenecks.

RedHat uses Puppet DevOps for system configuration management, and I also think it is a powerful tool for server and cloud deployment. It seems that Redhat has finally found a tool to realize its OpenStack cloud ambition.

Joe Fitzgerald, cloud business manager of RedHat, said: with the rise of private, public, and hybrid clouds, cloud management becomes more complex. RHS 6 is a unified management solution that covers the full lifecycle of traditional and cloud applications and spans physical, virtual, and cloud resources.
