With the concepts we have built up to now, let's write our first REST service. Many mirror sites exist for hosting operating system images including Ubuntu and Debian. The mirror sites here are nothing but websites on which OS images are hosted to be geographically close to the downloading machines.

Design:
Our REST API should return the URL of the fastest mirror.
The block of the API design document may look like this:
