Downloads targeting European Azure data centers time out intermittently
I attempted to git clone https://repo1.dso.mil/platform-one/big-bang/apps/core/istio-operator.git a number of times from a VM in the Azure UK South data center as a way of diagnosing errors installing the Quickstart there. All of the GitOps repos (e.g. kiali, jaeger, etc) were failing to download according to the flux source controller logs. They were getting time outs (i.e. dial tcp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:443 i/o timeout). My attempts to git clone istio-operator also time out. When I tested in the Azure East US data center all goes correctly. I can also git clone those repos to my laptop without issue.
I had been naively using the Microsoft.Flux alternative, which didn't work. I reverted to the version in registry1 (bigbang/scripts/install_flux.sh) with some success, but found that intermittently it also times out:
Failed to pull image "registry1.dso.mil/ironbank/fluxcd/kustomize-controller:v0.30.0": rpc error: code = Unknown desc = failed to pull and unpack image "registry1.dso.mil/ironbank/fluxcd/kustomize-controller:v0.30.0": failed to resolve reference "registry1.dso.mil/ironbank/fluxcd/kustomize-controller:v0.30.0": failed to do request: Head "https://registry1.dso.mil/v2/ironbank/fluxcd/kustomize-controller/manifests/v0.30.0": dial tcp 15.205.173.153:443: i/o timeout
I have tested in UK South, North Europe and West Europe data centers. Any other details I can provide as needed.
