Description

download package index from https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache is very slow in china.

It is because 152.199.39.108 is the most only IP destination from China access

@denelon Will your team provide global anycast cdn service or setup a china azure server?

Research direction

Determine whether the requested outcome is a global anycast CDN or a China Azure mirror, then define the deployment scope and how package-index download performance would be validated.
