[SURE-8496] Elemental should support bandwidth efficient distribution of OS patches
-
Elemental should support differential downloads for the OS images to minimize the bandwidth required to patch the systems. Alternatively, Elemental should support package-based patching, while still providing the security benefits of image based upgrades (resiliency against failed upgrades, immutable file system).
-
The download mechanism should be resilient and gracefully handling temporary connectivity issues (e.g. support resuming of partial downloads)
-
Elemental should support bandwidth management controls for downloading OS images, including the ability to throttle and restrict the downloads to specific time of day windows.
