Yes, we do just check http://cloudfront.debian.net it's documented there. If
you want to know more specific details probably I can post them later on.

It's not that simple as this, not all parts of the Debian archive can/should be
served that way and decision what and how is/should be served lies in DSA
discretion.

I was thinking about terraform but we could argue about flexibility and
terraform advantages over cloudformation. For now awscli is in Debian
archive and can be used straight away and terraform is not (not yet at least)
so for now I'd say cloudformation it is.

Once DSA will voice their plans and if they prefer to work with file based
configuration stored in git or use awscli or maybe click through they web
console, and will say that some help is needed then I think we can start
thinking about further steps.

As it's planned to be d.o service/infrastructure last word on how it should be
maintained and run belongs to DSA, so we just have to wait a bit.
