The issue is not with supporting highly experienced cloud operators. It is an issue for new users and other 'relatively' inexperienced operators.
I have helped enough newbies and cloud operators who have been running their cloud for a while to know that the barriers to entry are too high as they are. And telling anyone that they need to create a web server so that they can add their initial template to get started or in order to create a new zone, just isn't going to fly. I'm a huge advocate of the 'download.cloudstack.org' endpoint which the community can add/remove mirrors to or from for system VMs or built-in templates. Can the same system be used for binary repos ? although there is an added complication of redist vs no-redist there... paul.an...@shapeblue.com www.shapeblue.com 53 Chandos Place, Covent Garden, London WC2N 4HSUK @shapeblue -----Original Message----- From: Chiradeep Vittal [mailto:chirade...@gmail.com] Sent: 03 March 2017 18:28 To: dev <dev@cloudstack.apache.org> Subject: Re: Modern template hosting I do feel like this is early optimization. Mirrors rarely fail. I'd expect a single web server hosted on Apache Infra without any monitors to fail more often than a mirror. We already expect Wido's systemvm repository to be up all the time. And it has been. Similarly, I don't believe Nux's repository has ever been down. And if Accelerite wants to host on S3, that one is pretty solid as well. This is an infrequent operation in a cloud. After the cloud is installed, the download servers are only needed for a new zone. If we trust the user to run a cloud, surely he/she can run a web server to serve some built-in templates. And if her cloud is successful, she needs to figure out how to host her templates anyway and not rely on 3rd parties.
