   holy smokes, #saltstack project dumping this a few days before the end of month on the community:
   
   https://saltproject.io/blog/salt-project-package-repo-migration-and-guidance/
   
   "In order to integrate with Broadcom infrastructure and policies, we are migrating off of AWS public cloud infrastructure and consolidating services used by Salt Project by end of October 2024."
   
   and it was published on...drum roll please:
   "by Salt Project Team — Oct 28, 2024"
   
   well played broadcom, i guess if you screw all your users royally they'll leave and you won't have to support them anymore.

     @pete_wright salt has been dead since the VMWare acquisition, they've put zero percent effort into anything like letting all the AWS integration rot

     OK sounds like #Broadcom is royally screwed everyone here. From the salt-users mailing list:
     
     "No, the old infrastructure will disappear at the end of the month. This is something that is being mandated by Broadcom. We were only able to work out the details of what is happening and options available to us this week as it is affecting all of VMware, not just Saltstack.
     
     Sorry for the late notice. We are doing the best we can to handle the pain points. Unfortunately, there will be many changes related to this. Things won't be as pretty as they were before."
     
     RIP developers, I'm not sure how #salt and #saltstack survive this, my team is already starting work to rewrite all of our config mgmt code to use #ansible.

     this actually looks ways worse than i first imagined...the docs still haven't been updated, they still refer to the old saltstack domain for installing via packages.
     
     any other #salt #saltstack admins or users out there heard of this cutover before today? i don't remember seeing anything on their mailing list i'm sub'd to until today.

     @pete_wright Not sure what Broadcom is going for exactly. But I’m pretty sure that especially large buyers won’t touch any of their stuff with a bargepole in the foreseeable future.
