For the updating procedure you can use Ansible. https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/general/apk_module.html And for caching packages you could set up a local mirror, cache the via squid, etc.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yes, Ansible would work for this. See the apk module. https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/general/apk_module.html

Yes, you could run a caching HTTP proxy, or your own mirror and set your VMs to use it.
I would recommend looking into docker and/or Kubernetes, though. It would solve these problems in a much more automated way.
