    CentOS 7.x x86_64 mirror is available here: http://mirror.inclusivedesign.ca/centos

    CentOS doesn't use MirrorManager (or it's not clear to find information about that), like Fedora. So adding a private mirror and a netblock isn't possible so the yum repo configuration needs to be managed properly. In Fedora we just continue using the metalink/mirrorlist and let it point users to the right private server.

    Working on this last piece.

    All CentOS 7.x hosts have been configured to use the private mirror (https://github.com/inclusive-design/ops/blob/master/environments/00_cross_env_vars#L33-L57)

    Future improvements:

    • Mirror CentOS 6.x for i-0000 (low impact)
    • Manage repo configuration for h-0005 in Ansible (today the automation situation with this host is less than ideal)
