The Varnish Cache project recently released varnish-4.1.3 and varnish-modules-0.9.1. Of course, we want updated RPMs for Fedora and EPEL.

While there are official packages for EL6 and EL7, I tend to like to use my Fedora downstream package, also for EPEL. So I have pushed updates for Fedora, and updated copr builds for EPEL5, EPEL6, and EPEL7.

An update of the official supported bundle of varnish modules, varnish-modules-0.9.1, was also released a few weeks ago. I did recently wrap it for Fedora, and am waiting for its review in BZ #1324863 Packages for EPEL5, EPEL6, and EPEL7 are in copr as well.

Fedora updates for varnish-4.1.3 may be found at https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?packages=varnish

My varnish-4.1.x Copr repositories for EPEL are here: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ingvar/varnish41/

Test and reports are very welcome.

What you don’t get is caching close to the client, or protection from the cold-start penalty every time a visitor arrives after the serverless container has spun down.

That is exactly what a CDN is for and an excellent choice for this is Varnish CDN which lets you ... [continue reading]
