Since this issue was entered in Red Hat Bugzilla, the release flag has been set to ? to ensure that it is properly evaluated for this release. Thanks Xixi. I'll ping you later on the expectations you guys have on this particular point. Here is our proposed support policy: a. Puppet Satellite 6 delivers supported puppet packages. The installer allows users to install and configure Puppet Masters as part of capsules. The server installs hiera, which can be used to refine how puppet manifests are applied. Any puppet manifest which runs on a puppet master using hiera and a puppet master is supported by Red Hat. Red Hat will support the use of Satellite 6 as an External Node Classifier with other puppet installs, but the installation and configuration is left up to the customer. b. Pulp Pulp is the content management subsystem within Satellite 6. Use of Pulp is to be interacted via the Satellite 6 WebUI, CLI and API only. Direct modification or interaction with Pulp's local API or database is unsupported and can cause irreparable damage to the Satellite 6 databases. c. Foreman Foreman is the upstream component that comprises a large amount of core functionality within Satellite 6 from the WebUI container, users, organizations, security and other significant functions. Satellite 6 includes components, configuration and functionality to provision and configure operating systems other than Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Users are permitted to utilize this functionality within Satellite 6 but it will be unsupported by Red Hat. Foreman can be extended using plugins. Only plugins which are delivered by Red Hat, and are not in the Red Hat Satellite Optional channel, are supported. d. Katello Katello is the upstream component for Satellite 6's Content and Subscription user interface and API. Katello is wholly contained by Satellite 6's UI, API and database and there is no supported method for interacting directly to Katello itself that is not already available via the Satellite 6 API, WebUI and CLI. Katello may in the future offer functionality for management of non-Red Hat content types but these content types will be unsupported by Red Hat until publicly stated otherwise. e. Candlepin Candlepin is the subscription management subsystem within Satellite 6. Use of Candlepin is to be interacted via the Satellite 6 WebUI, CLI and API only. Direct modification or interaction with Candlepin's local API or database is unsupported and can cause irreparable damage to the Satellite 6 databases. Looks ok. This was delivered with Satellite 6.0 which was released on 10 September 2014. |
