2.2.2. Satellite 6 Capsules
Satellite 6 deployments use Capsule servers to provide a similar level of functionality for Satellite 6 that Proxy servers provide for Satellite 5.
The first release of Capsule servers, delivered with Satellite 6.0, can provide the following functionality:
- Mirror content (Pulp Node). Content can be staged on a Pulp Node before it is used by a host.
- Mirror Puppet content (Puppet Master)
- Integrate with DHCP, DNS, TFTP, and IPA.
In Satellite 6.0, Capsule servers do not proxy all data. Consequently, managed systems need connectivity up to Satellite 6, or an HTTP Proxy in place to provide a network bridge if required. Further, you cannot tier Capsule servers like you can with Proxy servers. This is illustrated in the following diagram.
