Post #1899856

Given the Ubuntu issues this might be good for folks with multiple/many Ubuntu hosts to know that they can run an apt package cache on prem that all of their hosts can use. This can also significantly reduce bandwidth if you have many of hosts and/or if you are building Ubuntu based containers often that need to pull updated packages. It has been a few years since I built one but I don't recall it being very difficult. It just required your hosts being configured to use it. This should for for Debian as well. I suspect there is similar tech for other package managers. On the contain image topic, I think a couple of the registries support "pull through" image downloads which can help in during outages as well as reduce network bandwidth.
