We are pleased to announce that Red Hat Satellite 6.6 is now available in beta to current Satellite customers.
Red Hat Satellite is a scalable platform to manage patching, provisioning, and subscription management of your Red Hat infrastructure, regardless of where it is running. The Satellite 6.6 beta is focused on enhancements across reporting, automation, and supportability
