You can import and manage various content types, such as packages and ISO images, in Red Hat Satellite. Organize both Red Hat and custom content into products to streamline your software distribution.
For example, Satellite supports the following content types:
- RPM packages
- Import RPM packages from repositories related to your Red Hat subscriptions. Satellite Server downloads the RPM packages from the Red Hat Content Delivery Network and stores them locally. You can use these repositories and their RPM packages in content views.
- Kickstart trees
- Import the Kickstart trees to provision a host. New systems access these Kickstart trees over a network to use as base content for their installation. Red Hat Satellite contains predefined Kickstart templates. You can also create your own Kickstart templates.
- ISO and KVM images
- Download and manage media for installation and provisioning. For example, Satellite downloads, stores, and manages ISO images and guest images for specific Red Hat Enterprise Linux and non-Red Hat operating systems.
- Custom file type
- Manage custom content for any type of file you require, such as SSL certificates, ISO images, and OVAL files.
