Cloudfront uses failover origins

[barlock]

Overview

As a user, I want to have maximum site uptime, so that I don't get frustrated having the site down.

Reference

• IPFS Gateway Checker
• HA with Cloudfront origin groups

Assumptions

• A Cloudfront origin group (with some work?) will rotate through origins if one fails
• All ipfs gateways act the same so using one vs the other doesn't matter too much

Questions

• What other benefits can we get from origin groups? Geo distribution?

Acceptance

• If one gateway goes down, move to the next one in the list
• Gateway order:
  1. Infura (ipfs.infura.io)
  2. IPFS.io (gateway.ipfs.io)
  3. Cloudflare (cloudflare-ipfs.com)
  4. Secondary IPFS? (ipfs.io)
