Use a proxy to provide a single point of access for artifacts download links while being able to forward requests to anyplace. Consider Content Delivery Network solution (CDN) like Cloudfront or similar.
Acceptance criteria:
Make the hostname in the artifacts download URL configurable on a global (config file/env variable) way
Make the hostname in the artifacts download URL overridable on a per-tenant level, providing an optional field in tenantadm
If the hostname is specified, URLs provided by deployments service do not lead directly to AWS
, I think this is a great idea. Alternatively, if you give me some bullet points on key messages we want to say I can write it up as well. Your call.

Very nice
FYI, Artifact downlaods from hosted Mender to devices will soon be much faster across the globe. In the past they've all been downloaded from US east coast, but we'll now use a global network.
I think this deserves at least a blog post and inclusion in the next newsletter. I can write a paragraph about it if you want. What do you think?

Keep in mind the mainland China issue, as originally pointed out on Mender Hub by Guillaumekh:
