Host VM images in github releases? about cortx-re

[mukul-seagate11]

Hello,

Is it possible to use github releases (as @mukul-seagate11 suggested it maybe be) to host VM images for the opensource community? For Seagate-only people, here is an OVA image that we would like to test whether it can be hosted by github: LINK.

Thanks!

@johnbent, It will be easy to test as OVA file will get downloaded in terms of api or URL in GitHub release as per https://github.com/Seagate/cortx-re/releases via wget or curl

Also, I am unable to access the mentioned 'LINK' page
