Hi folks,

I am part of the team which has been maintaining the web server hosting the AutoSD repositories [1]. This web server was a simple aws ec2 vm that mounted an s3 bucket using goofys and served with apache2. Over time we have seen issues with the mounts failing sporadically or the server needing maintenance and have decided to improve the situation there.

We now plan to migrate the server off the ec2 VM and into an OpenShift cluster available for us. We've prepared a simpler solution where the s3 bucket is synced to the server regularly and this should ease the issues we see with the mounts failing sometimes. We're currently running a preview available here [1] and will monitor it for a few days to check its stability. Feel free to provide comments if you have any feedback/questions.

I'll notify the mailing list again when we plan to migrate but apart from a short downtime it should be transparent to consumers of these repositories.

Kind regards,

Michael Ho
