It depends on the provider, and what you mean by "infrastructure". Many cases
fall into a grey area between your options:
- AWS: the mirror will be a CloudFront distribution. SPI will own the account,
the cloud team will create the CDN, but the infrastructure will be AWS.
- Azure, Infomaniak: they contract or employ folks to run mirrors for them.
Cloud team folks are responsible in both cases.
Speaking for myself only, I'd be be open to providing a name for a provider
that doesn't work with us, and runs their own mirror. This would definitely
not meet your requirement.

Great, thanks for the offer - we haven't settled on any mechanisms, but will
keep this in mind.
Thanks,
