Hello Zdenek,
Thanks for your answer. Is satellite 5 out of life? I see there is version 2.4 from October this year. I have no objections to stick with an older version when I can have "satellite 6", but what you mean with find the components?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers, Chris

Chris,
I recommend you look into:
- Spacewalk: Centralized system management utility (
- Errata update tool:
https://github.com/mike-wendt/spacewalk-centos-errata - CentOS repos do not include the errata information in the repo itself (EPEL does include errata info in its repos), so others have created external tools that pull errata off of the mailing lists.
Combined, they would allow you to have a local mirror of the CentOS repos and push/pull only the packages you want to install.

Hello,
I'm looking for a solution to automatically yum update security relevant packages on a couple hundred Centos6/7 servers. The deployment/trigger would be Ansible.
I looked into the "yum-plugin-security" and tested it on a CentOS 6 installation but always found no security relevant updates (yum list-security/yum --security update) where there should be at least a couple ones. I read around it and found that this solution is not working for CentOS (can you please confirm). What is the best practice to upgrade security relevant packages on live systems without service interruption?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Chris

Hi,
please be aware that the Spacewalk was an OSS variant of Satellite 5. I would strongly recommend to build a "Satellite 6" from the OSS components. Just check the Satellite 6 @ Red Hat Customer Portal to find all the required components.
