Purpose: Configuration workflows designed for the EAASI UI can run into issues when encountering large object files (i.e. > 4 or 5GB; this is particularly a concern for installation media for software distributed via DVD, Blu-Ray or ISO files starting in ~the late 2000s on). Import via browser/web app will likely always be inherently more unstable than via API (see Idea Backlog story #27), but workflows with large installation media files otherwise completely match targeted EAASI UI workflows with earlier/smaller objects, so for consistency's sake EAASI UI import of large object files should be as stable as possible.
Gap Analysis: Many import optimizations have been made to both back- and front-ends since v2021.10 as part of the restructuring of image and object archives from flat to S3-compatible storage. This has likely already improved upload behavior via the EAASI UI with large ISO files, but dedicated testing and observation of real-world deployments should be made to find further performance improvements.
