- Network installer images are analogous to the Boot ISO images. They are available from the customer portal and include information to launch an installer for additional configuration and package installation. A network connection to package repositories is required for successful installation.
- Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) boot images, which are sometimes referred to as stateless or diskless images, are minimal archives that include the kernel, intramfs, and root file system needed to boot a system over the network. These images are popular for the Satellite provisioning and for high performance compute nodes.
- Extended retention policy for built images
- Customers can now access downloadable images for up to seven days, extended from the previous six hours. This change is helpful for users who might start a build and come back to it later or users who are building the image for someone else to download.

- Red Hat Content Delivery Network (CDN) and Entitlement Network Modernization
On January 14, 2026, Red Hat will update its CDN and entitlement networks. This affects customers who use RHEL 7.3 or earlier and customers who use specific IP allowlists. These network updates directly impact the insights-client. After the hostname is updated to the legacy endpoint, insights-client will stop reporting to Red Hat Lightspeed services on RHEL 6 and RHEL 7. To maintain Red Hat Lightspeed functionality on these legacy versions, you must register your systems to a Satellite server.
If you maintain systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 or earlier, or if you configure your firewall to allowlist particular IP addresses to connect to Red Hat networks, you must make configuration changes before January 14th, 2026 to avoid losing access to content.
