# Example apt_key from Microsoft or Google
potos_apt_key:
  microsoft-packages:
    url: https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc
    filename: microsoft-packages
  chrome-signing-key:
    url: https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
    filename: chrome-signing-key

# Example adding repository for MS Edge and Google Chrome
potos_apt_repository:
  edge:
    filename: microsoft-edge
    repo: deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/edge/ stable main
  chrome:
    filename: google-chrome
    repo: deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main

potos_apt_packages:
  - microsoft-edge-stable
  - google-chrome-stable

The other way around, you can also make sure certain apt keys IDs, repos or packages are removed. In this example, we're going to remove the Microsoft apt key by its ID, we remove the repository and the edge browser package.

Note: The GPG key ID consists of the last 16 characters. The full key signature be viewed with e.g. gpg microsoft.asc or run directly gpg --list-packets microsoft.asc to see the keyid:
