We used Red Hat Satellite to manage Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) environments. Its main purpose is to facilitate efficient management, provisioning, patching, and configuration of Linux systems across various infrastructures.

We use Red Hat Satellite to patch our system completely. It is a very useful product in the market for Red Hat to patch their servers.

We use Satellite to get updates directly from Red Hat because our servers are not connected to the internet, so we get all the updates through Satellite using a central repository. We use the solution regularly when we update or reprovision servers.

Red Hat Satellite is used to manage the whole server cluster. Every day, there are several vulnerabilities. The solution is quite complete, allowing us to monitor the servers and keep them up to date while also addressing the vulnerabilities we have. It is important to handle zero-day threats as well as your administration's day-to-day operations. It is complete, and we have also begun using a new website. It is a complete tool, that is recommended for compliance, and planning for upgrades.

We used Red Hat Satellite for deployment, and we wanted to do the initial configuration. We used it for package management and security compliance auditing. I'm using version 6.7. It was deployed on-premises. There were five people using this solution on my team. They were all engineers. We also have Red Hat Linux servers.

Our main use is for patch management and cataloguing our RHEL infrastructure. Keeping inventories on spreadsheets and maintaining them is a tedious detail. Satellite allows us to have an up-to-the-minute inventory of our servers. Satellite allows us also to review configuration issues with the 'all ansible roles' feature which helps us ensure that a) the servers are connectable and b) they are configured similarly as expected. Due to the cloud connecter, our inventory is uploaded on a regular basis to cloud.redhat.com (insights) where we get insight into configuration issues, specific vulnerabilities to address, et cetera. Having Satellite has enabled us to maintain control of our RHEL infrastructure without having to hire additional help due to the size of the environment.

Our primary use case of Red Hat Satellite is patch management. It's for configuration in the Linux server, and we use if for patching and pushing the bundle. This solution is deployed on-prem. I'm using the latest version.

Red Hat is an operating system. It has been out since 1995 or 1996 and went through a few iterations before it became a true enterprise solution. Basically, they changed their name and changed the version name back between about 2003 to 2005 when they came to that point. Satellite is a package management solution most commonly used to maintain patch levels and security updates. It is something like what SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager) does on Windows servers and Windows workstations.

Red Hat Satellite is a powerful system management tool that is designed to enable users to maximize the effectiveness of any Red Hat infrastructure solutions that they wish to deploy. It can automate most of the management tasks that administrators would otherwise have to manually perform. This enables businesses to avoid the possibility that human error is going to in some way reduce the efficiency of their operations. Additionally, it increases an organization’s ability to address all of...
