openFastly CDN - Hosting of our WSL images (~2GB of data)
0%
Description
Hello Heroes!
Scott & Scott from WSL our team raised an opportunity to upload our
.appx images for Windows Subsystem for Linux to a particular agreed
location on our CDN rather than Microsoft's.
This would eliminate waiting time for Microsoft to upload images for
us, and could be easily automated on OBS and IBS publisher / TTM side.
Would we be able to set up such a directory / location and what would
be the process to add additional data there before it is automated?
This would bring us one step closer towards automation of the WSL
delivery pipeline. There would still be the Windows Store part. As far
as I understand this location would be used by
provisioning/installation via wsl.exe and not deployments via Windows
Store.
Example appx image/binary from our devel project
https://build.opensuse.org/projects/Virtualization:WSL/packages/kiwi-images-wsl/repositories/openSUSE_Leap_15.5_images/binaries
I suppose we might need Dirk Mueller for this (in cc).
I'll raise this at today's heroes meeting.¶
Best regards

Contractually we can not host SUSE content on Fastly. It's perfectly fine to use it for openSUSE content however.

The CDN is a network of caching proxies, so you can not upload content into it. You can only host it on download.o.o and request it through the CDN to maybe warm the cache, but we found that sizes above 100MB often resulted in timeouts. So it is not useful atm to server larger files through the CDN.
