      In order to have a reliable, secured supply chain any artefact required by SKAO should be hosted within SKAO where we can access it safely, quickly and maintain its lifecycle. To achieve this we need to host both our own artefacts and any upstream artefacts we depend on. This is also in line with 7 R's of a supply chain (in the logistics world: Getting the Right product, in the Right quantity, in the Right condition, at the Right place, at the Right time, to the Right customer, at the Right price).

       

      To achieve a complete supply chain, it's important we first start with CAR as a first step and trickle down to each location as proxies and caches.

      • Following types of upstream artefacts are cached in CAR by setting up proxies: apt
        • Seperate Debian Proxy packages into separate Nexus instances (behind apt.artefact.skao.int or something similar)
      • Binary packages used in ansible-collections are investigated and changed with in the order of availability: OCI images, apt packages, binary raw artefacts
      • CAR and proxies is connected with the appliances. i.e. 
        • playbooks are updated to use CAR as a proxy 
        • Servers are redeployed with the above config

      A new role is added for apt package configuration: https://gitlab.com/ska-telescope/sdi/ska-ser-ansible-collections/-/merge_requests/62

       

      This has been tested manually one of the k8s workers and update rolled out the rest of the machines, we haven't updated ubuntu20.04 machines as they will be replaced anyway and playbooks don't support any other version

    Description

      The SKAO provides a Central Artefact Repository based on Nexus Repository Manager3.  This has built in capabilities for caching from upstream sources for most artefact types (formats) that it can support.  The key SKAO published artefacts are OCI Images, Python libraries, Conan packages, Helm charts, and Raw artefact types. 

      The SKAO will also provide mirroring of upstream official artefact repositories - these include OCI Images (docker.io, quay.io, gcr.io), Apt (Ubuntu), Helm (public, Ceph, GitHub, GitLab), PyPi.

      These two caches will provide an authoritative source and logistics support for SKAO related artefacts.  The PoP Nexus instance points to these to provide local caching services for any software deployments and will be integrated with deployment and software building processes in the PoP location - eg: Kubernetes, containers, Docker, Podman etc.

      The caching facility will help with the speed of deployment issues in geographically dispersed locations, and the cache can be primed to support use cases where it is necessary to avoid the first-hit latency problem.
