Just to add that the storage box know as https://artifacts.ci.centos.org 
will also move to AWS.
Infra is ready but we wanted to do the service migration somewhere in 
September.
Reason is that we have some people on PTO and switching it means some 
(small) code changes : The old internal box (private vlan) was accepting 
plain rsync with a rsync password as authentication. The replacement box 
will be (re)using ssh pki, as you already have a dedicated ssh keypair, 
and so push/pull/rsync will happen over ssh (to encrypt traffic to/from 
duffy nodes to that box)


Stay tuned for when we'll announce the artifacts service migration and 
we'll reflect new setup on dedicated guide 
(https://sigs.centos.org/guide/ci/)
