Could anyone please let me know how to reduce the time to create a vm with installation and configuration of around 1000 packages.
I am using shell scripts to automate and basic version of ubuntu server edition . Is there any techniques to increase the performance?
I have identified one alternative. Like building a local repository in the base ubuntu server. So that the installation will reduce time. But the major disadvantage is that the size of the base image is getting increased if we add local repository.
Is there any techniques to reduce size after adding local repo. Like freeing up sparse files etc...? and if yes, how it can be done.
And is there any other techniques which increases performance?
