How to allow specific content (product/repo/content-view) to sync to specific capsules based on their location

Solution Unverified - Updated

Environment

  • Red Hat Satellite or Proxy 6.0.8

Issue

  • A stage satellite server has been set up, with 3 capsules. Each of the capsules are geographically apart.

  • Capsule A is within the same DC as the satellite server (in US), capsule B is in EU, and capsule C is in AWS. All 3 of the capsules are in the same Organization.

  • The requirement is :

    1. satellite syncs all content to capsule A
    2. satellite doesn't not sync any layer products to capsule B
    3. satellite syncs only the rhel6 server repos to capsule C

  • Seems which content gets sync (or not sync) is purely decided by which organization the capsule belongs and which LC environment it sees. If all 3 capsules are in the same org and sees the same environments, they will have the same content, no matter which location they are in. In the current released version of satellite (6.0.8), is it possible to achieve the requirement ?
