[Spacewalk-list] [EXTERNAL] Re: Alternatives

[Peirce, Dean]

Hi all,
Does anyone have a good (recent) reference for setting up a Foreman/Katello environment?

We are also looking for a way forward when Centos 7 hits the sunset...

Thanks!

I have used foreman as a provisioning system with good amount of success for non cloud based infrastructure. In that same vein, katello and pulp are the alternatives to consider if you are EL shop.

Essentially foreman, pulp and katello are the new tools that are used if you dont want to spend money on expensive satellite contracts.

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

First off, I want to thank everyone in this community for all the help over the years, Spacewalk has been a life saver and I've taken it through two companies now.  I know that there are folks continuing to maintain Spacewalk, but with the official end of the project and the decision from IBM/Red Hat to  EOL CentOS 8 in a year; we are faced with the decision of what distro to move to (if we change at all).

Basically, I'm asking for your thoughts on distros and provisioning systems (like spacewalk) for an enterprise.  We have always been a CentOS house, but we are not CentOS/Red Hat "snobs"... we would definitely consider other distros.... well, maybe not Mint. :-)  It's all for server based applications, no desktop.

I guess it's pretty obvious, since we've been running the business on CentOS and Spacewalk, that cost is a definite consideration.

Thanks again for everyone's hard work!

Any recommendations would be GREATLY appreciated!
