Session
Community mirroring is a cornerstone of successful open-source projects, ensuring fast, reliable, and widespread access to software and updates for a global user base. This talk delves into the critical role of community mirrors in the AlmaLinux ecosystem. We'll explore how AlmaLinux, a free, community-owned and governed enterprise Linux distribution, leverages its mirrorlist infrastructure to distribute its operating system and packages efficiently, and why this nearly 30-year-old approach to distribution reigns supreme in the age of CDNs and hyperscale clouds.
