Chapter 4. Technology Previews
This part provides a list of all Technology Previews available in Red Hat Satellite 6.14.
For information on Red Hat scope of support for Technology Preview features, see Technology Preview Features Support Scope.
Redis cache
Satellite now includes the ability to configure redis as the cache for the Satellite WebUI. Use redis cache if you have a large number of hosts registered to the Satellite Server or if you use the extra-large tuning profile and that is causing issues. To use redis cache:
# satellite-installer --foreman-rails-cache-store type:redis
To revert back to file based caching:
# satellite-installer --foreman-rails-cache-store type:file
Jira:SAT-18354
OpenShift Virtualization plugin
You can provision virtual machines using the OpenShift Virtualization compute resource as a Technology Preview.
Jira:SAT-18663
OVAL / CVE Reporting Support
Satellite now includes the ability to scan systems for vulnerabilities using the OVAL standard data feed provided by Red Hat.
foreman_openscap contains the API to upload the OVAL content used to trigger the OVAL oscap scans. The results are parsed for CVEs and sent to Satellite which then generates reports of managed hosts and the CVEs that effect them.
