GitLab.com CI artifacts to use Google Cloud CDN

GitLab plans to redirect requests for CI artifact downloads to Google Cloud CDN instead of Google Cloud Storage, potentially enhancing download speeds through edge caches, with a gradual rollout starting in late October 2022. During this transition, users should ensure their GitLab Runner is updated to at least version 13.1.0 to utilize the CDN effectively, and those with firewalls limiting access to storage.googleapis.com will need to add the CDN's IP address to their allow list. Users may encounter errors such as connection resets, certificate issues, or authentication failures due to these changes, and solutions include checking firewall settings, updating runners to newer versions, and configuring HTTP clients to drop Authorization headers on redirects. GitLab emphasizes that these modifications are subject to change, and users can track the progress and raise questions through a specified issue link.
