Man, this disappoints me. I was a tech lead on the packages project about 3 years ago, specifically on the redesign for OCI container support and making anonymous downloads of public packages as reliable as possible was a top priority.
If that flow was broken there’s only a handful of things it could be; specifically azure blob store or azure MySQL, but both of those should have layers of redundancy. Public anonymous download bypasses most everything else; no auth services, rails monolith, or metered billing. It does emit some events to the message bus for metrics, but that’d effect much more than packages if there was an issue with it.
As far as I’m aware this is the first time anonymous public package download broke since I left a few years back.
