Documentation¶

User Stories¶

• Operational demands are too excessive
• +1 on Subs
• duplication of function
• Correction
  • Collapse the Sync Host functionality into Satellite and declare victory.
  • Parity with Satellite 5. Single workflow, export
  • Unrelated work to package CDN into ISOs as another means, satellite will be able to directly import these content ISOs. Alternate 
• Export Content Views (Part 2)
• Workflows: Basic
  • Satellite Operator (a.k.a “Operator”) imports Manifest into Satellite 6
  • Operator enables repos for syncing
  • Sync is started
  • After Sync is complete the Operator can immediately perform an export of the last sync of enable repos
    • Alternatively the Operator can add or remove existing enabled repos prior to the export
  • At any time the Operator can visit the repo table in the library and check off which products/packages are needed for export and then submit.
  • In all cases the Operator must specify a filesystem to the install and optionally indicate that the repo data be compressed
• Workflows: Advanced
  • The Operator can list all resources created on the Satellite by Organization
  • From this list the Operator can select resources to be packaged for export
  • The packaging process tracks dependencies with repos in the library
    • e.g. collections of CV’s selected for export will require specific repos in the library, those repos will be automatically included in the export
  • All exported meta-data is encrypted and can only be imported by a registered Satellite of the same version (or newer by 1 minor release 6.0 -> 6.1)
  • The export process creates a human readable export manifest that identifies each included resource type along with time stamps and other related meta-data
  • The exported bundle can then be imported into a registered Satellite in 2 stages
    • Stage 1: All content views appear in the library only
    • Stage 2: CV and CCV are auto published and promoted into matching environments (missing environments are auto created)
  • The exported bundle can be transported to the intended Satellite using SSL and a web service established just for this purpose.
  • The exported bundle can be simultaneously transported to multiple Satellites 
  • All Export activity is logged
• Inter Sat sync is an HTTP connection
• Message bus application publish CV’s on the bus, satellite’s subscribe
