Kali Linux - Domains

kali.org and kali.download are the primary domains associated with Kali Linux.

Hosting

Cloud hosting vendors like AWS and Microsoft Azure provide cloud-based computing and network resources to deliver applications. The hosting platforms used by Kali Linux are summarized below by geographical points-of-presence (PoP). Each PoP can host many IPs to deliver an application.

Cloud Hosts	# of IPs
Amazon AWS	2
OVHcloud	1

Host	PoP	Location	Sample IP	IPs
OVHcloud	Core	Canada	192.99.45.140	1 IP
Amazon AWS	Ashburn	United States	18.211.24.19	2 IPs

Content Delivery Networks - CDNs

In order to get information to end users more quickly, many applications are distributed from multiple geographical points-of-presence (PoPs) using Content Delivery Networks (CDNs). Each PoP can host many IPs to deliver an application. A sample IP is provided.

Take special note of CDNs that use Anycast technology. Anycast makes it possible to route a single IP address to a variety of different geographic locations. In other words, one global Anycast IP is hosted in multiple geographic locations.
