2.2. Capsule Types

Not all Capsule features have to be enabled at once. You can configure a Capsule Server for a specific limited purpose. Some common configurations include:

  • Infrastructure Capsules [DNS + DHCP + TFTP] – provide infrastructure services for hosts. With provisioning template proxy enabled, infrastructure Capsule has all necessary services for provisioning new hosts.
  • Content Capsules [Pulp] – provide content synchronized from the Satellite Server to hosts.
  • Configuration Capsules [Pulp + Puppet + PuppetCA] – provide content and run configuration services for hosts.
  • All-in-one Capsules [DNS + DHCP + TFTP + Pulp + Puppet + PuppetCA] – provide a full set of Capsule features. All-in-one Capsules enable host isolation by providing a single point of connection for managed hosts.
