Deeper cross portfolio integration and the
latest Red Hat Satellite and Red Hat CloudForms releases help
foster more rapid cloud deployments and simplified day 2
operations
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced new innovations in its management
portfolio, including the latest releases of Red Hat Satellite and
Red Hat CloudForms, designed to accelerate deployments of Red
Hat-powered cloud environments, and automate and greater simplify
ongoing infrastructure management.
IT infrastructure is increasingly complex with disparate systems
across physical hardware, virtualized environments, private cloud
deployments, and public cloud instances. The heterogeneous nature
of modern enterprise computing can often require a new type of
management solution, one that can improve scale, speed, and
stability while still providing a clear picture across disparate
infrastructures.
The latest releases of Red Hat Satellite and Red Hat CloudForms
help address these needs with enhanced integrations with Red Hat
Insights and Red Hat Ansible Tower, for an automation-centric
approach to IT management. The integrations are aimed at enabling
users to not only identify critical risks, but also create
enterprise change plans and automatically generate Ansible
playbooks to remediate those risks. These integrations, along with
additional product enhancements, are designed to help improve
agility and decrease complexity for hybrid cloud customers.
Automation is an important component of digital transformation,
helping to drive efficiency, deliver value faster, and solve IT and
business workflow challenges. By deepening the integration of
Ansible technology across its management portfolio, Red Hat aims to
better enable organizations to take a more agile and consistent
approach to managing Red Hat environments and hybrid
infrastructure. With automation as a foundational capability, Red
Hat Satellite 6.3 and Red Hat CloudForms 4.6 can further help
organizations to speed IT deployments and updates via improved
provisioning while maintaining enhanced stability and
performance.
Red Hat Satellite 6.3
With deeper Ansible integration, Red Hat Satellite can provide a
dynamic inventory source for targeting automation via Red Hat
Ansible Tower and the systems provisioned via Red Hat Satellite can
now request additional automation or reflect their current state
back to Red Hat Ansible Tower. These capabilities are designed to
provide more flexibility for IT teams looking to tackle complex
environments by using a combination of automation and traditional
systems management.
Red Hat Satellite 6.3 also provides further integration with Red
Hat Insights, Red Hat’s predictive analytics platform. The enhanced
integration provides new widgets for Insights actions and Insights
risk summary, enabling organizations to more proactively identify
threats to performance and stability. Additionally, the integration
builds out an Insights planner playbook for use with Red Hat
Ansible Engine or Red Hat Ansible Tower, enabling organizations to
automatically remediate Insights findings.
Red Hat Satellite 6.3 now also provides greater flexibility for
hybrid cloud computing with the addition of support for Satellite
and Satellite Capsule Server running on Amazon EC2. As enterprises
extend workloads across public clouds, being able to bring more
consistent and enterprise-scale system management capabilities with
these deployments is important. Red Hat Satellite customers are now
able to manage their Red Hat infrastructure on Amazon EC2 with the
backing of Red Hat’s award-winning global customer support.
Red Hat CloudForms 4.6
Red Hat CloudForms 4.6 builds on the automation-centric
foundation to multi-cloud management introduced in CloudForms 4.5,
including increased support for automated infrastructure
provisioning and scaling of Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform
and Red Hat Openstack Platform deployments. CloudForms 4.6 is
designed to make more Ansible capabilities available natively
within CloudForms, including the ability for CloudForms to execute
Ansible playbooks and visibility and linking into Ansible-deployed
compute resources.
Red Hat CloudForms 4.6 also introduces new innovations with a
hardware partner that enable CloudForms to go beyond hybrid cloud
management and manage hybrid infrastructure. CloudForms is now able
to discover and manage physical compute infrastructure alongside
virtual and multi-cloud through a single pane of glass. This view
helps deliver valuable insight to system administrators to
determine on-premise capacity and analyze the impacts of
infrastructure modifications on workload and control infrastructure
maintenance.
Red Hat Consulting
To help customers maximize their investments and to get the most
from their systems management and automation deployments, Red Hat
Consulting can provide services and expertise to more quickly and
effectively integrate new technologies with existing operations.
From providing training to helping map out technology landscapes,
Red Hat Consulting aids enterprises in developing a modern approach
to hybrid cloud management.
Availability
Red Hat Satellite 6.3 is now generally available to all Red Hat
Satellite customers with a valid subscription. Red Hat CloudForms
4.6 will be made generally available soon - check the Red Hat
Customer Portal for further announcements.

Joe Fitzgerald, vice president and general manager, Management,
Red Hat“Being able to scale and deploy more quickly are key
capabilities of digital transformation, where enterprises embrace
emerging digital technologies to fuel differentiated products and
services. This agility, however, can often require a new management
approach, one that builds upon a core of task automation in the
face of increased complexity. With today’s announcement, Red Hat
continues to build out our management offerings based upon the
powerful automation capabilities of Ansible, helping our customers
to adopt new technologies while maintaining greater control over
their hybrid cloud infrastructures.”
