The software repositories subtest verifies that relevant Red Hat repositories are configured, and that GPG keys are imported on the host under test.

Red Hat provides software packages and content in the Red Hat official software repositories. These repositories are signed with GPG keys to ensure authenticity of the distributed files. Software provided in these repositories is fully supported and reliable for customer production environments.

You might configure Non-Red Hat repositories if they are necessary, but they must be properly documented and approved.

Success criteria

• You enabled the BaseOS and AppStream RHEL repositories.
• You imported the GPG keys for the RHEL repositories.
• The relevant Red Hat repositories are: Red Hat Update Infrastructure, Red Hat Satellite, and Red Hat Content Delivery Network.
• You documented the non-Red Hat repositories required by the product undergoing certification, or by the certified Red Hat public cloud where you are running the tests.
