Comment on Amazon Cloud Traffic Is Suffocating Fedora's Mirrorsparent

that it was set up by an AWS user,

A user with "five million additional systems" on AWS?

“A user with "five million additional systems" on AWS?”

Someone is going to be in for a big surprise when they get their AWS bill this month and realise there’s an infinite-loop bug in their instance spawning script.

It’s clearly either a large contract that would have been negotiated before any instances were spun up, or Amazon themselves.

A long time ago I knew a guy that uploaded a Counter-Strike patch to his ISP personal hosting and ended up on the official mirror list. Ended up taking down the ISP iirc.

I don't think it's one user; I think it's a ton of them. Want to use Let's Encrypt in your Openshift-on-AWS deployment? certbot's in EPEL, along with a lot of other quality-of-life stuff for log-shipping, monitoring, etc.

Each with a unique public IPv4 address too!

That is some massive AI training!
