What is the yum repository?
YUM Repositories are warehouses of Linux software (RPM package files).
RPM package file is a Red Hat Package Manager file and enables quick and easy software installation on Red Hat/CentOS Linux.
YUM Repositories can hold RPM package files locally (local disk) or remotely (FTP, HTTP or HTTPS).
What is the difference between RPM and Yum in Linux?
The major differences between YUM and RPM are that yum knows how to resolve dependencies and can source these additional packages when doing its work. Both tools can perform an install, and RPM will even allow you to install multiple versions simultaneously, but YUM will tell you that that package is already installed.
