<p>Katello (<a href="http://katello.org/" target="_blank">http://katello.org/</a>) is a systems lifecycle management plugin to Foreman (<a href="http://theforeman.org/" target="_blank">http://theforeman.org/</a>), and the next-generation replacement for the very-popular Spacewalk (<a href="http://spacewalk.redhat.com/" target="_blank">http://spacewalk.redhat.com/</a>).
Katello adds software and subscription management capabilities to
Foreman, which itself offers configuration management and provisioning
via Puppet.</p>
<p>Katello might be useful to you if:<br>
- you are a novice to advanced system administrator<br>
- you are managing 10 to 10,000+ hosts<br>
- you want to control the content available to hosts based on rules you define<br>
- you want to provision hosts using the content you are managing<br>
- you want hosts to consume content that you are managing<br>
- you would like to interact with the system using a web UI, CLI or REST API</p>
<p>This presentation will cover topics such as managing the lifecycle of
content, provisioning systems with that content and enabling existing
systems to consume content.</p><p>We would like to thank Red Hat for sponsoring this month's meeting. <span><span dir="ltr" name="Steering"></span></span> Red Hat is the world's leading provider of open source software solutions using a community-powered approach to reliable and high-performing cloud, Linux, middleware, storage and virtualization technologies.
