Figu re 2.6 . The Ap p licat io n Lif e Cycle of Red Hat Sat ellite 5
The Red Hat Satellite 6 application life cycle is broken up into two key components: Life Cycle
Environments and Content Views.
The application life cycle is divided into life cycle environments, which mimic each stage of the life
cycle. These life cycle environments are linked in an environment path. You can promote content along
the environment path to the next life cycle stage when required. For example, if development
completes on a particular version of an application, you can promote this version to the testing
environment and start development on the next version.

Content views are managed selections of content, which contain one or more repositories (yum /
puppet) with optional filtering. These filters can be either inclusive or exclusive, and tailor a system
view of content for lifecycle management. They are used to customize content to be made available to
client systems.
