When it comes to mirror sponsorships, we (IPinfo) offer IP location data sponsorship. We spoke with Alma Linux and they used our IP location data to route traffic for their mirror system: <a href="https://almalinux.org/blog/2024-08-07-mirrors-1-to-400/" rel="nofollow">https://almalinux.org/blog/2024-08-07-mirrors-1-to-400/</a><p>At the moment, we operate 900 servers. We evaluated the idea of hosting mirrors on some of our servers, but our servers are not super powerful, and we have to pay for bandwidth. We use these servers in our production pipeline. Maintenance alone is a massive task, and hosting distro mirrors could be incredibly challenging. We are not at that scale yet.<p>We could provide IP location data sponsorship to popular distro mirror systems, which would make traffic routing and load distributions more effective.
