Overview:

Red Hat® Satellite is an infrastructure management product specifically designed to keep Red Hat Enterprise Linux® environments and other Red Hat infrastructure running efficiently, with security, and compliant with various standards.

Learn how to configure Red Hat Satellite 6 to deploy and manage Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems and softwareRed Hat Satellite 6 Administration (RH403) is a lab-based course that explores the concepts and methods necessary for successful large-scale management of Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® systems. You will learn how to configure Red Hat Satellite 6 on a server and populate it with software packages. You will use Red Hat Satellite to manage the software development life cycle of a subscribed host and its configuration, and learn how to provision hosts integrated with software and Ansible® configuration management upon deployment

Curriculum:

• Plan a Red Hat Satellite deployment, then perform installation and initial configuration of Red Hat Satellite servers.
• Create and manage Red Hat software deployment life cycle environments.
• Register and configure your Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems to use Red Hat Satellite, then organize those systems into groups for easier management.
• Manage software deployment to registered hosts of your Red Hat Satellite infrastructure and practice managing environment paths, life cycle environments, and content views.
• Create, manage, and deploy custom software products and repositories.
• Perform installation and initial configuration of Red Hat Satellite capsule servers as components of a deployment plan.
• Configure the ability to run ad hoc and scheduled tasks on managed hosts using a variety of configuration management tools.
• Configure Satellite Server for host provisioning.
• Configure Satellite server for host deployment and perform host provisioning.
• Integrate Red Hat Satellite functionality with custom scripts or external applications that access the API over HTTP.
• Plan a Red Hat Satellite deployment on a cloud platform, including managed content hosts.
• Perform Red Hat Satellite server maintenance

Course Benefits:

As modern organizations migrate to large scale virtualized and container-native hybrid cloud environments, the number of virtual machines and application hosts has greatly increased and become more complex to manage and secure. This course prepares senior system administrators to automate deployment, configuration, monitoring, building, and testing of managed hosts and the application workloads that run on those hosts. Automating operations and management tasks with Red Hat Satellite Server greatly reduces downtime, provides more consistent deployments, reduces configuration errors, and eliminates security gaps by providing faster installation of errata and product fixes.

• Simplify infrastructure management
• Red Hat Satellite can manage your entire infrastructure—not just Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems—from a single console.
• Implement your standard operating environment
• Improve system consistency, reduce errors, and meet compliance standards.
• Scale your environment
• Meet the demand for managing thousands of distributed systems across multiple datacenters.

As a result of attending this course, you will learn the skills required to manage and hybrid cloud hosts and applications in medium to large scale environments. You will be able to plan and implement hybrid cloud network environments, provision managed hosts and software, and manage custom application life cycles across local and distributed enterprises.
