Chapter 1. Features

The Red Hat Update Infrastructure 3.0 features include:

  • two installation sources (RHUI packages in ISOs as well as in Red Hat CDN repositories) so you can choose how to install Red Hat Update Infrastructure.
  • easy installation using Puppet.
  • code rebased to Pulp 2.8 to be consistent with the code base in Red Hat Satellite 6.
  • faster access to content due to reworked architecture for automated installations.
  • default use of Red Hat Gluster Storage as shared storage to speed up content availability at the content delivery server (CDS) and eliminate the need for synchronization.
  • high-availability deployment to reduce the error of one CDS not being synchronized with another CDS.
  • a load balancer/HAProxy node that is client-facing. (This functionality was integrated previously into the CDS logic.)
  • certificates managed by the rhui-installer and rhui-manager commands.
  • updates to yum.repos.d/*, certificates, and keys to use the new unified URL.
  • removal of client-side load balancing functionality from rhui-lb.py.
  • support for Docker and OSTree (atomic) content.

See Chapter 16, Manage Certificates and Keys in the Red Hat Update Infrastructure System Administrator’s Guide for more details about Docker and OSTree content.
