Red Hat is pleased to announce that Red Hat Satellite 6.7 beta is available to current Satellite customers. This release has a focus on new and improved integrations as well as security feature and content management enhancements.
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 6.7 beta includes enhancements across reporting, automation, and supportability
While Satellite 6.7 beta supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 hosts, it is important to note that Satellite 6.7 must be installed on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 host. Support for running Satellite itself on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 host is scheduled for a later release.
The main features of the Satellite 6.7 beta are:
-
Automation enhancements:
-
Improved performance for the Satellite dynamic inventory inside of Ansible Tower to help increase the speed that the dynamic inventory updates.
-
Use of Ansible Runner inside of Satellite for better long term Ansible integration to help Satellite to stay current with the latest release of Ansible.
-
-
Enhancements for Red Hat Enterprise Linux integration
-
Ability to open and use the Web Console for individual hosts from Satellite without additional authentication.
-
System Purpose enhancements to attach system purpose to activation keys during provisioning. This is designed to provide a consistent experience in setting subscription data on new hosts.

Module Stream enhancements including the ability to create a content view filter based on modules and the ability to incrementally update a content view with dependencies.
-
-
Security feature enhancements:
-
Updates to the HTTP Proxy designed to make it simpler to use, and enabling a HTTP proxy to be set globally or on a per-repository basis.
