[Guide] How we host an RPM repository on AWS S3 📦

Managing RPM repositories often involves the grind of maintaining active server components and dealing with unnecessary infrastructure costs. You can actually host a full repository entirely on AWS S3 with no active components at all.

This approach keeps your costs minimal while ensuring secure and authenticated access using IAM.

• Host your files on S3 to eliminate active server maintenance
• Use IAM for secure and authenticated repository access
• Understand how .repo files and dnf package fetching work
• Generate necessary metadata and manage versioning with separate repositories

This setup simplifies your workflow and keeps your infrastructure lean by removing the need for dedicated repository servers.
