Hello,
I have a somewhat ‘alternative’ setup in my environment where the RHEL subscriptions are not all owned by a single entity. Some are owned by the company I work for and some by the hosting provider. Having just read the Katello 2 docs ( or parts of them ) is it now possible to subscribe hosts to our Katello repository without the RHEL licenses being also tied to that Katello service as well? This would open up a world of possibilities for us were it to be the case.
Any pointers much appreciated.
thanks
No, this is not yet possible: A content host may still only be registered to a single source.
There have been discussions in the past as well as recently but no specific efforts have begun.

I think it must theoretically be possible to run two "federated"
katello/foreman servers that share much of the same resources and
configuration settings.
You can then have one for the company you work for and one for the
licenses of your hosting provider.
We will have the same requirements at some point in the near future so
we will be looking for a solution, but it's just something I thought of
5 minutes ago 
Currently we are investigating ways to make the foreman/katello
multi-tennant but so far we run one environment per customer. They are
so easy to deploy.

I was not thinking about content hosts per se more the subscribers, I suppose in theory I could just drop a yum config into
each system so that they look for content on my content host as well as the satellite system they’re registered to. The point is not to
try and re-distribute redhat content to systems without entitlements since we buy or pay for each license as it is. My pain is more about
getting the Errata since the provider refuses to give it to us “ Go look it up on redhat.com" they gleefully tell me. Then being able to decide which patches need
to be applied if I were able to do that from the Katello UI i.e. automagically push out the updates then so much the better.
Thanks
