The replacement project is Foreman+Katello as mentioned below. I found it harder to use compared to Spacewalk, but YMMV. Since we only use Spacewalk as a software repository, we decided to start using Nexus instead.

Nexus doesn’t require client software, it can be configured to serve as a Yum proxy for external Yum repositories and it will cache the RPM’s it downloaded from them. On the clients you only require .repo files pointing to Nexus. This will only work for you if you a) only use it as a software repository (which you apparently do), and b) if you have a way to distribute/manage the .repo files across the clients if you have lots of servers.

Satellite is the RedHat-version that is used by RedHat and its systems. I think it's paid or maybe you get it with a subscription, I don’t know.  

There is almost always an OpenSource Upstream-version of RedHat-products and Spacewalk is the upstream-version of Satellite 5. The Foreman + Katello is the upstream-version of Satellite 6.

But from my point of few, if you are not already using Spacewalk at the moment, don’t start using it for new environments. Use something else that fits your needs.

Satellite is opensource or commercial software ?

Because Spacewalk is old (first release 2008) and Redhat has been focussing on the newer version RedHat Satellite 6, The Foreman + Katello and a bunch of other plugins. 

But SpaceWalk 2.10 on CentOS 7 and CentOS 8 should work fine.

I mean that spacewalk server is installed on centos7, and centos8 is client subscribing the channel on the spacewalk server.

Since Release 8 can subscribing spacewalk server, why spacewalk project stopped ?

Do you mean as client or as server?

It cannot be used on RHEL/CentOS 8 as server but CentOS 8 is supported as client and maybe even RHEL8 (never tried it, I use OracleLinux 8). However the entire ModuleStream-setup is different in regards to pure RPM-versions in CentOS 7 and below.
