             Summary: Provide a mirror redirect service for ISO downloads
                 Key: OVIRT-2971
                 URL: https://ovirt-jira.atlassian.net/browse/OVIRT-2971
             Project: oVirt - virtualization made easy
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Evgheni Dereveanchin
            Assignee: infra


The oVirt project has multiple mirrors that distribute the load and offer 
better user experience.
These are currently only used by yum/dnf on client side to detect the best 
mirror and use it. At the same time, while mirrors also sync ISOs we never 
advertise them on our website so they're always downloaded from 
resources.ovirt.org

CentOS for example has special software to power isoredirect.centos.org which 
will find the closest mirror and re-route ISO download requests.
The code is available here: https://github.com/CentOS/mirrorlists-code

This ticket is to identify if we can use something similar to direct users to 
the closest ISO location instead of only using the default URL.

We already do monitor our mirrors for freshness and know their geographical 
locations so it looks like large chunks of the logic are already in place.
