      The redhat.satellite_operations collection as well as the upstream foreman-operations-collection modules, and despite the descriptions stating "Ansible assets for managing Satellite operations such as install, upgrade or maintenance tasks."  There is nothing in either of them relating to patching, updating, or upgrading Satellite and its Capsules. 

      The documentation for how to use the Ansible collections for Satellite and Capsule Server maintenance is missing a great deal of information regarding upgrade, update, patching, and any other forms of maintenance tasks.

      My customer, as well as many others, are looking for a procedure to reliably automate the maintenance of their Satellite infrastructure using Ansible Automation Platform, just like they do with their server patching process. The capability to manage Satellite with Ansible has been advertised since Satellite 6.8 ( Blog post ).
