Project:Infrastructure/Mirrors/Rsync-PoC

Objective: Reduce the maintenance burden of rsync mirrors by reducing the number of machines and aiming for higher reliability.

Implementation:


 * Keep the masterrsync host around, use it to feed the rest of the network nodes.
 * Run a network per continent (us, asia, eu)
 * Autoscale the network based on CPU usage

A PoC of this is on GCP.

We have n1-standard-1 instances serving rsync out of a container.
