They don't even have something for smaller IXes. It's go big or go home.

Why doesn’t Microsoft have something like that? I mean it’s not like you can roll out WSUS to all our customers.

So, how does it “flow”? … You have to register the server with Apple (along with doing the DNS record), and they do the redirecting of your customers to “your” server?

The spindle drive is a serious bottleneck. Even if you don't, it can handle my entire customer base (though very small) without any performance issues. About 140 customers. Most of them are very big on Apple. I would recommend putting in a few for larger networks. If one is at capacity or down, another one will take over for it automatically.

We peer with Apple already at an IX so iOS and OSX updates come across that cheaper path. Although this might be worth investigating.

You have to host your own DNS or ask the one that runs the DNS you use to put in the txt record for your public subnet.
