Not to be snarky, but that's easy. Just disconnect your cluster from the internet. We have hundreds of customers that are running disconnected clusters.

And that applies to Ubuntu just as well. All I'm saying IBM is no better than Canonical in this regard.

Not complaining - If you want me to complain about IBM cluster technology that would be a whole different story.

And no I'm not gonna ask about disconnected clusters :).

Haha. I still work for Red Hat, and Consulting at that. My pay is determined by how many billable hours I put in and my customer reviews. Not directly by how much you buy.

I thought there is no Red Hat anymore.

Red Hat is a subsidiary of IBM, not acquired and absorbed. It is very much its own thing within the company as a whole.

I really thought it was a merger. Is Red Hat still a seperate legal entity?

Yes, separate legal entity, combined financial entity (although I know little about the financial details).
