Hi We at credativ maintain a Debian mirror network within the Microsoft Azure cloud. This mirror network is for use by other Debian systems within this cloud infrastructure. It should not be used by the public internet.
This mirror network currently consists of load balanced and high available set of systems in each of the 18 public Azure regions. Traffic is distributed to the nearest set via DNS (debian-archive.trafficmanager.net) Currently we add the internal name of the load balanced DNS endpoint to sources.list in the images. However the conclusion of several discussions was that it should get an service alias somewhere under debian.org. The remaining question is where service names for such mirrors, not only in Azure but possibly also in other cloud infrastructures, should reside within the debian.org zone. As we now have "debian.mirrors.debian.org", I would think about "$vendor.mirrors.debian.org" and, if they really want to mirror debug, also "debug.$vendor.mirrors.debian.org". But I'm open to suggestions.
