The AWS freebsd-update has been working fine for quite a while. All
project mirrors are slow in Australia so we have been using the AWS
one
since Colin brought it online to make it a better experience for our
team
to update the fleet.
FWIW adjust update.FreeBSD.org to aws.update.FreeBSD.org in
/etc/freebsd-update.conf and you are good to go.
Can the project look at offering traditional mirrors for base and pkgs
rather than the current offering? Those that want to stand up
un-official
mirrors can do so by pointing rsync to a Tier 2 mirror for updating
purposes so they can provide faster, localised access. From Melbourne
to
our closest geo mirror is 240ms, this latency really drags out
updates, so
having a mirror out of a Melbourne DC would be beneficial.
We've got an ongoing action item to set up a traditional pkg and
download mirror at IX Australia. This has kept stalling out over the
past year-and-a-bit because the world is on fire. I'll try to pick this
up again Soon.
Currently, from Australia you're either sent to a pkg or download mirror
in Malaysia or on the west coast of America. Neither of those are
great. Australia is a big island, far away from everywhere. :)
Glad to hear the AWS stuff is working for you. I'll see what needs to
happen to put that in the SRV record for everyone.
