RHN - Proxy, satellite etc. How do you update you servers?
Hi,
I'd like to know more about RHN and their RHN PROXY.
- If I will buy PROXY, do I need to get licenses for all my RHELs to have them updated? What are benefits of proxy?
- If I will buy (doubt it) Satellite, will I be able to connect all my boxes to Satellite and have them upgraded without licenses per box?
How do you keep your severs updated? Do you have yum repo somewhere where you dump all the updates and then you keep your boxes updated with that repo or do you pay license for every single box?
Basically speaking, I need to update (and keep updated) all my servers but at the same time I can't spend more than I really have to. I mean few hundred $.
Here it's impossible to explain why Linux is free but not free.
Thanks!
Chris
