My main use case for SUSE Manager was to configure it for client purposes, specifically for centralized Linux system management. I register and manage clients, perform patch management, synchronize repositories, manage software channels, and onboard systems using activation keys and bootstrap repositories. I monitor system inventory and automate tasks through Salt. I also use the SUSE Manager Proxy to manage systems in disconnected or remote environments. All these tasks are done for clients, including a project I worked on for Dr. Reddy's. One specific task I worked on involved onboarding an Ubuntu client to SUSE Manager through a disconnected SUSE Proxy. I created the activation key and bootstrap repository and registered the client, after which I requested and accepted the Salt key to verify the communication between SUSE Manager and the client for pushing package updates and running commands remotely. I also troubleshot connectivity and firewall issues until the client communicated with the manager properly.

The use case for SUSE Manager is for several tasks such as bringing up the instances for SAP HANA, bringing them down, and performing automatic procedures such as housekeeping on HANA files. There are several files related to the database, and mostly those related functions of HANA. I utilize the automation features for configuration management and patching. We have several HP-related software and devices that help. We use SUSE Linux and Red Hat. We have OneView, which we incorporate with Synergy.
My use cases include using SUSE Manager for patching the Linux operating system. I used to use SUSE Manager in my previous company. Currently, in my company, we are not using SUSE Manager.

I use SUSE Manager ( /products/suse-manager-reviews ) for managing systems and for patching systems. Additionally, I utilize the SaltStack ( /products/vmware-aria-automation-reviews ) connectivity for various installations and other routines.

I'm a freelancer and I have a number of customers and I need to patch their systems. The beauty of SUSE Manager is that it supports different Linux systems such as Red Hat and SentOS, SLES, and Ubuntu.

Some one thousand SUSE Enterprise Linux servers use the solution for patching, OS deployment, auditing purposes, VA scans, and everything SUSE Manager can do. It's the one place where you can manage your entire SUSE environment.
