Store APT or YUM Repositories in Azure Blob Storage
If you’re managing custom packages or need to mirror existing repositories for faster access, you may have considered hosting a local repository. In this tutorial, I will show you how to create a local APT or YUM repository hosted on Azure Blob Storage. This approach provides a scalable and accessible solution for hosting custom repositories.
What is Azure Blob Storage?
Azure Blob Storage is a scalable, cloud-based object storage service provided by Microsoft Azure. It is designed to store and serve large amounts of unstructured data, such as text or binary data, including documents, media files, backups, and more.
Blob Storage is highly available and durable, with multiple redundant copies of your data stored across Azure datacenters. Blob Storage provides REST-based object storage for unstructured data, with built-in security features such as access control and data encryption.
