[ale] enterprise rhel/centos management

[joey at joeyrutledge.com (Joey Rutledge)]

Hey all,

A co-worker and I are currently in the process of trying to determine the best method to manage a handful of RHEL 5 based systems.  We are looking at deploying over time at least 100 or more RHEL systems and are trying to determine the best method to manage security updates,  package versions, entitlements, etc.

So far we have come up with the following

RHN
Redhat Satellite
Spacewalk
in-house yum repository

For those using RHEL/CentOS in a corporate environment, what are you using to keep up with the systems?  I'm looking for ideas and opinions around the choices above and open to any other means of management that you might be using currently.


Thanks,
Joey Rutledge
