Red Hat cutting back RHEL source availability

Re:Red Hat cutting back RHEL source availability by geerlingguy on Thursday June 22, 2023 @02:12PM (#36436361)

The fact that I have to spend more than 5 seconds considering how to integrate my Red Hat Subscription into my test builds (for dozens of projects) means I won't do it.

That's why I stuck with Rocky Linux instead of just dropping all RHEL support entirely.

And there are _a lot_ of test runs where I have more than 20-30 test containers running simultaneously with Rocky Linux 8 and 9.

Do I have to write new software that limits my test infrastructure to only run 16 tests at a time or something idiotic like that? Do I have to even wonder about that using Debian, Arch, heck even Amazon Linux? No.

So basically you are saying the author of an ansible book do not care spending a couple of minutes understanding a simple process to automatise it.

Sounds like great advertising for your books really.

FYI containers aren't their own entity for subscription management purposes. A subscribed host can run as many containers as it wants, the host's subscriptions work inside the containers.

(That said I agree that dealing with subscription-manager at all is a lot more annoying than ... not having to do so with RHEL derivatives!)
