[Ci-users] Scheduled service migration : artifacts.ci.centos.org

As announced some months ago, we are moving all CI infra components to 
new infra (mostly AWS)
WRT Duffy api service itself, phase 1 was completed earlier this month 
(August) and phase 2 will be announced for October.

Another service we need to migrate is https://artifacts.ci.centos.org, 
which is the next service we'll migrate next week.

Migration is scheduled for """"Monday September 5th, 6:00 am UTC time"""".
You can convert to local time with $(date -d '2022-09-05 06:00 UTC')

The expected "downtime" should be really small, as it's will be just 
pointing DNS CNAME record to new host, and eventually (see below) last 
rsync between hosts.

Worth knowing that CI tenants using that service in the past were 
relying on direct rsync access (tcp/873 and available only internally in 
dedicated CI VLAN) with a rsync secret.
Due to the service being now publicly available on AWS, we decided to 
just disable plain rsync but allow rsync over ssh (or sftp/scp if you 
want), reusing your existing project keypair.
More details available at 
https://sigs.centos.org/guide/ci/#artifacts-storage

Don't forget to update your script for next monday or you'll not be able 
to push to the new storage server !

PS: while we consider all data "ephemeral" (and so to be discarded as 
there is also no backup at all for that temporary hosting solution), we 
can though migrate your existing data from old to new server. For that, 
please "opt-in" in the existing ticket so that we can keep track of 
projects we need to migrate. See ticket 
https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/906

Thanks for your understanding and patience.

on behalf of the Infra team,
