Most of you probably heard of Red Hat Satellite<\/a>, a product which is used to manage Linux infrastructures. Maybe you also heard about SUSE Manager<\/a>, which does more or less the same thing. Both solutions traditionally used Spacewalk<\/a> as the underlying system management solution, but Spacewalk discontinued on May 31 2020. While Red Hat went for Foreman<\/a> as a replacement for Spacewalk, the openSUSE community decided to fork Spacewalk and to create a new project called Uyuni<\/a>, which as based on the Salt stack<\/a>. The home of Uyuni is here<\/a>, and what looks really promising is the support for various Linux distributions<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the demo setup used in this post, we’ll use the OpenSUSE Leap 15.4 AWS AMI<\/a>. Once this is up and running make sure that the system is patched to the latest release (make also sure that you meet the system requirements<\/a>):<\/p>\n\n\n
