[Jenkins Infrastructure] Operation on get.jenkins.io/mirrors.jenkins.io (downloads)

[Damien Duportal]

Hello dear users and contributors,

This email to let you know that the Jenkins infrastructure team will operate the download service (get.jenkins.io/mirrors.jenkins.io) today starting at 12:45am UTC.

We expect no outage but slower downloads as we will use only the fallback server to provide downloads until the operation is finished, which can take from 1 to 4 hours.

The goal is to fix HTTP/404 download errors on older files as described in https://github.com/jenkins-infra/helpdesk/issues/4330.

If you have any issue downloading file during this operation, please answer to this email or comment in issue in https://github.com/jenkins-infra/helpdesk/issues/4330.

We'll send an email and update status.jenkins.io accordingly to the operation once finished.

Thanks for your understanding!

The Jenkins Infra team

The operation is now finished. The fallback system did perform well (great real life test!) and mirrors are back (some might take up to 24 hours before being up).
