All on-demand Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) are configured to utilize the Red Hat Update Infrastructure (RHUI) in AWS. If in a VPC, Amazon EC2 RHEL instances will need to access RHUI in EC2 either through the VPC Internet Gateway, through an attached Virtual IP, or through a VPN or Direct Connect connection to a data center that routes the update request through the general internet to the RHUI servers.
If you would rather get updates from an on-premises update repository, like Red Hat Network Satellite, then you will need to have an account with Red Hat and purchase entitlements to their Cloud Access AMIs through this license mobility program. These entitlements come in the form of the traditional annual subscriptions.
Once deployed using the Cloud Access AMIs, de-register your instance and re-register to your on-premises update infrastructure. Note, however, that in this set up you will incur additional network charges for data transfer out of AWS. Avoiding these network charges is one of the benefits of using the in cloud Red Hat Update Infrastructure.
