Does Redhat pay for fedora's infra? Genuine question and I'm not saying it's better either. It's just that it would be weird for fedora to operate on volunteer/donated infra when it's quite important to red hat, considering it's the "upstream" (not sure if that's the correct term here) of RHEL
The massive uptick in Fedora/EPEL activity puts additional pressure on Fedora web proxies for mirror data and then the mirrors themselves that tend to be volunteer run. Much of this new traffic is coming from the Amazon/AWS cloud.
Ah I read the article but I wasn't sure what they meant by volunteer (for example individuals only or corporate too) run in this context. Your interpretation makes sense though!
