Comment 1 for bug 1594924

AWS looks better. Same juju in aws/us-west-1 got the same 200MB resource downloaded in < 10 minutes, making it close to 400KB/s:

...
2016-06-21 18:11:02 INFO juju-log IBM IM: fetching the ibm_im_installer resource
2016-06-21 18:18:27 INFO juju-log IBM IM: using /var/lib/juju/agents/unit-ibm-im-0/resources/ibm_im_installer/ibm_im_installer.zip as the ibm_im_installer resource
...

While this is ok (certainly tolerable compared to azure), I think we can do much better. On AWS, I was able to put the controller's id_rsa.pub into a unit's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file and scp this 200MB resource at 50MB/s. That's a crazy significant step up from 400KB/s.

IBM is about to drop *much* larger resources in their charms, which is why i'd like to try and get these speeds up. Their websphere resource is 2GB, which will make 400KB/s xfers painful, with 80KB/s xfers all but impossible.
