-------------------------------------------
Summary: Provide a mirror redirect service for ISO downloads
Key: OVIRT-2971
URL:
https://ovirt-jira.atlassian.net/browse/OVIRT-2971
Project: oVirt - virtualization made easy
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Evgheni Dereveanchin
Assignee: infra
The oVirt project has multiple mirrors that distribute the load and offer better user
experience.
These are currently only used by yum/dnf on client side to detect the best mirror and use
it. At the same time, while mirrors also sync ISOs we never advertise them on our website
so they're always downloaded from
resources.ovirt.org
CentOS for example has special software to power
isoredirect.centos.org which will find
the closest mirror and re-route ISO download requests.
The code is available here:
https://github.com/CentOS/mirrorlists-code
This ticket is to identify if we can use something similar to direct users to the closest
ISO location instead of only using the default URL.
We already do monitor our mirrors for freshness and know their geographical locations so
it looks like large chunks of the logic are already in place.
