Red Hat Satellite 6.12 And Remote Execution: Now Featuring Pull Mode
Red Hat News, March 2nd, 2023
We released Red Hat Satellite 6.12 last month. The release includes several new features designed to help you manage your Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) environment more effectively, including remote execution pull mode.
In this blog entry, I'll write about the differences between remote execution pull mode and push mode and provide a step-by-step guide on configuring it.
What is remote execution?
Remote execution (or REX) enables you to run shell scripts, Ansible tasks, and Ansible Playbooks on remote hosts managed by Satellite. Brian Smith wrote an extensive introduction to remote execution in Satellite. The official Satellite 6.12 documentation also describes remote execution in great depth.
