1. Proposed title of this feature request.

• There is no option to set a lifecycle environment for Ansible roles on Red Hat Satellite.

2. What is the nature and description of the request?

At different stages of a lifecycle within Satellite, servers can access different versions of packages. Going for example from Dev -> Test -> Prod, promotions make new versions of packages visible so that they can be installed on different servers when the admins are confident that they won't break anything.

BUT

The same is not true of Ansible Roles. If we update a Role definition, that new definition is instantly visible everywhere and, therefore cannot go through the same test and promotion cycle. Not only does this mean that a particular version of a Role might be run on a Production system even though not properly tested, a role/package combination can get out of step, for example, if the configuration of a piece of software changes with package version, you might have a situation where for a particular server, it sees the earlier package but the later configuration Role

3. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla?

NA

4. Does the customer have any specific timeline dependencies and which release would they like to target?

NA

5. Is the sales team involved in this request and do they have any additional input?

NA
