We are pleased to announce the availability of Red Hat Satellite 6.13. This release includes many new and updated features, including an improved user interface/user experience and new features to simplify operation and administration.

  • Updated UI - Refinements including:
    • Selectable columns in host list - Add or remove host attributes from the columns in the host list menu, making it easier to view information you need
    • Difference in errata between two versions of content view and packages - accurately determine what is being fixed so you can assess the risk of running older software
    • Host details page improvements - view all the information available in older versions of Satellite’s host menu.
    • New Ansible job report - view exactly what happened in an ansible job
    • Installed packages report - find out what software packages are installed on a host
  • Remote execution (REX)  improvements - making it easier to manage hosts
    • Pull mode support for offline/intermittently connected hosts - REX can ensure that hosts that go offline or are disconnected can receive jobs when they come back online
    • Pull mode now supports running jobs as users other than root
  • Ansible collection enhancement
    • Satellite now supports content exports with an ansible playbook
  • Alternate Content Sources improvement
    • Enable capsules to synchronize with the Red Hat Content Delivery Network
  • Syncable Exports
    • Export content in Yum repository format, making it easier to synchronize content to Satellite servers across an air gap.
