Apply security updates offline on Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.7 (Ootpa) in Production environment

[R. de Kuijer]

Hi Kaushal,

To keep it simple, you can see Katello the new modern follow-up of Spacewalk.
So this is the Content Manager for handling the data and packages for content views, composites, versioning, cmdb, etc.

Foreman is the repository server to handle packages, package updates (like yum, apt), connecting and syncing with reposities, pxe bootstrapping and kickstarting, etc. 

It is part of the Katello suite, but you can also use it as a standalone repository server.

In Spacewalk there was Cobbler who did mainly the work what Foreman now does.


kind regards,

Ron de Kuijer

Hi Ron,

I am not sure if I understand the difference between Katello and Foreman.
Please guide me.

Thanks in advance.
