Pulp is a platform for managing repositories of software packages and making them available to a large number of consumers.
With Pulp, you can locally mirror all or part of a repository, host your own software packages in repositories, and manage many types of content from multiple sources in one place. If you have dozens, hundreds, or thousands of software packages and need a better way to manage them, Pulp can help.
If you want a centralized tool to take full control of your software packages, blend and curate content types to suit your exact requirements, and distribute them throughout your organization, Pulp can help. For a more in-depth look at Pulp's workflows, check out our workflow overview.
If you want to avoid relying on third parties whose subscription models and rate limits can change at any time, you can host your own container registry with Pulp Container. With Pulp container, you can also build your own containers, publish, and distribute them throughout your organization or to your customers. For more information, see 5 reasons to host your container registry with Pulp.

Pulp is the only FOSS content management project that has support for both RPM and Debian repositories. As you can probably tell, Pulp doesn't stop there either!

You can take full control over version pinning, promotion, and distribution of your content throughout all stages of the development lifestyle environment, for example Dev, Staging, Production, and promote content from one environment to another so that you can ensure stability and repeatability at all times.

Pulp’s architecture is designed to offer scalability and high availability. You can scale Pulp’s architecture in whatever way suits your needs. With Pulp, the more you increase your availability, you also increase your capability. The more Pulpcore API processes you deploy, the more API requests you can serve. The more Pulpcore content applications you deploy, the more binary data requests you can serve. The more workers you start, the higher the tasking (syncing, publishing) throughput you deployment can handle. For more information, check out our High Availability info page
