Red Hat Subscription Management (RHSM) is a customer-driven, end-to-end solution that provides tools for subscription status and management and integrates with Red Hat's system management tools.
RHSM provides status, inventory, organization, and reporting on Red Hat subscriptions via:
- A hosted service on the Red Hat Customer Portal
- On-premise access through Red Hat Satellite
- Using Subscription Manager from a Red Hat Enterprise Linux system
- Coming soon: A robust supported and documented API for RHSM
When you purchase a subscription to a product, RHSM tracks which system(s) in your inventory are registered to the subscription. Registered systems are entitled to support services, as well as errata, patches, and upgrades from the Content Delivery Network (CDN).
