Hello,
Like most of you out there I learn by doing. I'll like to learn how to use and administer Sat 6. I plan on taking the course with my learning subscription (once I get my subscription renewed), but would like to have something at home that I can play with.
As I read about Sat 6, it sounds like it is based on Foreman but has several other components...
from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_(software)
| The Foreman |
Provision and Life Cycle Management of physical and virtual systems |
| Katello |
Foreman Plug-in for Subscription and Repository Management |
| Candlepin |
Service in Katello to handle subscription management |
| Pulp |
Service in Katello to handle repository and content management |
| Hammer |
CLI tool providing command line and shell equivalents of most WEB UI functions |
| REST API |
RESTful API service for System Administrators and Developers to write custom scripts and third party interface applications |
| Apache Tomcat |
Embedded Tomcat server than must be interfaced via specified tools |
| Puppet |
A Puppet Master server installed as part of a Red Hat Satellite 6 Master Server or Capsule server |
| Hiera[10] |
A Key-Value database that is part of Puppet and helps keep site specific data out of manifests |
To gain some experience (i.e. doing), what should I download to give me the closest feel?
Thanks,
Radesh
