Is it Down Again? PowerShell Gallery Outage Mitigation Strategies
summary
Demonstrates creating a Cloudsmith org and repository via SSO in minutes, registering it as a PowerShellGet source, pushing modules (Invoke-CommandAs, PSWindowsUpdate, DBATools, BurntToast) and successfully installing them; shows upstream caching of PSGallery with eventual sync (demo notes a 44s upload for DBATools and mentions ~15min for global propagation). Explains PSGallery uses nuget v2 with ~9,000 packages, contrasts nuget.org v3 with ~300,000 packages, and highlights Cloudsmith trial setup limits (500MB/1GB free, OSS 50+GB/200+GB) and 225 points of presence for delivery.
