Initial thoughts by Matt Domsch

  • Use Reduced Redundancy Storage. All the content will be replicated easily.
  • Use s3cmd sync to keep content in buckets in sync
    • exclude ISOs
    • exclude debuginfo? I think so.
  • Use bucket policies to limit access to each region
  • Need list of IP addresses for each region to populate MM. Would be nice if we could get that programmatically.
  • bucket names s3-mirror-<region>.fedoraproject.org allow for CNAME s3-mirror.fedoraproject.org to s3.amazon.com in our DNS
Region Region Server Bucket Name CNAME
US Standard s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com s3-mirror-us-east-1.fedoraproject.org s3-mirror-us-east-1.fedoraproject.org CNAME s3-mirror-us-east-1.fedoraproject.org.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com
US West (Oregon) Region s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com
US West (Northern California) Region s3-website-us-west-1.amazonaws.com
EU (Ireland) Region s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com
Asia Pacific (Singapore) Region s3-website-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com
Asia Pacific (Tokyo) Region s3-website-ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com
South America (Sao Paulo) Region s3-website-sa-east-1.amazonaws.com



Torrents:

  • if we upload ISOs, we get .torrent links "for free".
  • no tracker stats :-(
  • Can't group multiple files together into a single torrent
  • we're paying for outbound bandwidth
  • bucket policies keeping traffic in a single region means we need separate buckets for torrent content


Costs:

  • none for all uploads
  • none for intra-region requests
  • 0.093/GB/month for data, 200GB = $30-40/month/region. 7 Regions.
  • no way guess number of GET requests. $40 assumes 10M requests, while $30/month assumes 1M requests.

Total: ~$280/month, or $3360/yr

Open questions:

  • do we sync to one region, then COPY to others? If so, what tool? That'll cost $ for bandwidth.
