Setting up RHEL Repo and WKMS
The Samsung Cloud Platform Console provides the SCP RHEL Repository to support user environments where external access is restricted, such as VPC Private Subnet. You can use the SCP RHEL Repository to install and download the same packages as the official RHEL Repository.
- If a user created RHEL before August 2025 through the Samsung Cloud Platform Console, they must modify the RHEL Repository settings.
- Since the SCP RHEL Repository synchronizes with each Region Local Repository according to an internal schedule, it is recommended to switch to an external public mirror site to apply the latest patches quickly.
- Samsung Cloud Platform provides the latest repository for the specified major version.
