That explains the future of Red Hat's Satellite, but this doesn't really answer the question regarding Spacewalk. Katello, et al, is a completely different beast than Spacewalk as far as I understand. So does that mean that Spacewalk is going to continue as is, or will it be end of life'd, or will it be completely re-written to parallel Katello?
As far as I can tell, Spacewalk as we know it is a dead end. If RH is going to push Katello in the future, then there's no reason for them to support Spacewalk as it currently stands, and they provide a rather large amount of support for this product. I'm sure the non-RH SW community will continue support, but will it be worth it? I mean, most companies and admins will probably jump ship to Katello once RH moves to that completely, so SW usage will start to drop. I guess SW will have a purpose as long as RH continues to use/support Satellite 5.x, but once that's over, I really think Spacewalk will be dead. Call me pessimistic, but I don't see a future for Spacewalk, not if RH is going to push Katello as the new way forward. Anybody care to give a differing opinion or correct any flaws in my understanding? Please?!

The overview of Satellite 6 was listed in last years Summit. During Red Hat Summit ( https://www.redhat.com/summit ), next month there will be updated presentations on roadmap, releases, etc. Typically the presentations used will be made available within a week after Summit is complete. Last years presentations are still available here: http://www.redhat.com/summit/2013/presentations/ One of interest would be: Using Red Hat Satellite Today & Into the Future - http://rhsummit.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/caplan_rhsatellite.pdf Regards, Cliff On 24/03/14 20:18, Boyd, Robert wrote: > I'm curious if someone in the know can say something definitive about > what's happening with Katello and RHN/Spacewalk relative to each other? > The reading I've done so far leaves me curious and confused about the > roadmap ahead. > > *Robert Boyd* > > *Senior Systems Engineer | Peoplefluent* > > p. 919-645-2972 | c. 919-306-4681 > > e.
