Bug#694923: better / alternative image distribution

[Stefano Zacchiroli <zack@debian.org>]

Package: cloud.debian.org
Severity: normal

We need to look into distributing the public cloud images we prepare also via
the usual Debian distribution network. That would allow mirroring, would reduce
worries of being "shaped down" by specific cloud providers if we exceed some
traffic thresholds and, generally, benefit our independence from specific
providers.

Next action on this: contact debian-cd, point them to some of the images we
already have (only EC2 at the moment) and ask their take about including them
in the usual "CD"/media mirror network.

Filing here as a reminder,
Cheers.
