Task #2325
Updated by bizhang about 7 years ago
We're planning to do out package builds using fedora's copr infrastructure from Pulp 3. We've identified two needs that need to be met for this to be viable:
# Old releases need to be archived, so that downstream folks like katello can pull specific release versions. This is also just a good thing to do. Currently, we only keep the latest release of a given x.y stream, and earlier releases can't be easily found online.
# Releases need to happen atomically. COPR supports this, but offers limited control over the exact moment a repository's metadata is regenerated.
Pulp meets both of these needs, and should be the tool we use to distribute Pulp. :)
This pulp instance will need to be secure and the following things should be ensured:
# Pulp should be ran on a non default port
# mongo set up with authentication and listen locally (through sockets)
# SNI used for HTTPS
# message brokers also set up with authentication
# The RHEL7 hardening guide is followed [0]
