HTTP: //dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/ is down (Error 503 Backend is unhealthy)

Someone has posted an issue on their GitLab instance as that is still up: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gitlab.alpinelinux.org&#x2F;alpine&#x2F;infra&#x2F;docker&#x2F;alpine-www&#x2F;-&#x2F;issues&#x2F;1" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gitlab.alpinelinux.org&#x2F;alpine&#x2F;infra&#x2F;docker&#x2F;alpine-ww...</a>

Some mirrors are available: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mirrors.alpinelinux.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mirrors.alpinelinux.org&#x2F;</a>

I&#x27;ve noticed AWS has a mirror of Docker images [1], I am hopeful they are mirroring the image itself and not just the metadata.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gallery.ecr.aws&#x2F;docker&#x2F;library&#x2F;alpine" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gallery.ecr.aws&#x2F;docker&#x2F;library&#x2F;alpine</a>

On their OFTC IRC channel #alpine-infra they stated that there was a DDoS attack against them.

Looks like the WWW site as well as some other subdomains (including bugs) are also down

Yeah this is biting us at the moment.
