FreeDesktop.org Devises New Hosting Plan For GitLab Infrastructure
One month ago FreeDesktop.org/X.Org experienced a new cloud crisis with Equinix Metal shutting down and losing access to all the FreeDesktop.org cloud/hosting resources at the end of April. FreeDesktop.org GitLab powers not only the X.Org projects but also Mesa, Wayland, and countless other Linux desktop open-source projects. Fortunately, it looks like they will have a new solution in time.
New details are now public on their planned migration off Equinix Metal ahead of the end of April deadline. They will now be pursuing hosting solutions with Hetzner and using Fastly as a CDN. They intend to deploy a Kubernetes cluster with German hosting provider Hetzner.
Details are still being worked out and subject to change, but at least it looks like they are currently tracking well to have their migration hopefully completed in advance of their April deadline. The tentative plans for those interested via this FreeDesktop.org tracking ticket.
