Cloud PyPI - Mirroring PyPI in the cloud¶

Update: This project is now canceled, since PyPI is being on hosted on a fastly CDN and the PyPI server itself is hosted on a VM at OSL/OSU.

Idea¶

We are setting up a PyPI mirror of the static content of PyPI in Amazon CloudFront.

Proposal¶

CloudPyPI/Proposal

The proposal was accepted by the PSF in their December 2010 board meeting.

Funding was limited to an initial USD 500 for Amazon costs to see whether the project would succeed.

Amazon AWS Getting Started Guide
Developer Intro to the PyPI code
PyPI RPC interface (which we likely won’t use, but gives an idea of how the meta data is stored)
PyPI Code

Example CDN¶

We’ve setup an example CDN which only provides caching services to the PyPI server and uses the pypi.python.org server as origin:
