description: Red Hat Satellite is a customer-deployed system-management product. Its REST API
  runs in the customer's own Satellite server; throughput is bounded by that deployment's sizing
  rather than by a Red Hat-published rate limit. No platform-wide rate-limit policy is published.

notes: Satellite is self-hosted; the only "limit" is the customer's deployment capacity. Red
  Hat publishes sizing guidance, not a rate ceiling.

      ceiling.
