Powershell Gallery is returning 503

[kyanha]

Powershell Gallery is returning 503. I can't currently run https://github.com/powershell/powershell tests because they try to pull Pester from it.

Same here with Pester and other modules

Having similar problem installing PSScriptTools, our build pipelines failing as a result.

Same behavior on my side

I am getting a 503 error when trying to pull any modules down at the moment

[arievanderwende]

Modules cannot be pulled from the PowerShell Gallery at the moment. The PowerShell Gallery seems to be unavailable for at least a few hours already.

Is there any official websites for PowerShell Gallery status?
It is hard to know that it is down or just an internet error.

Although nothing on there as yet for this

Hi all, we currently have an outage and are working on resolving it. Our CDN is down preventing packages from being downloaded and availability for the gallery itself has been extremely low. I'll update here as mitigation steps progress.

Same problem here

PowerShellGallery has become a essential resource for many. It's been unstable and have had other problems for months.

@alerickson : Is Microsoft comitting to making PowerShellGallery a reliable resource for PowerShell modules in near future, or do we have to look for other solutions (like GitHub maybe) for reliably hosting PowerShell modules?

I want to second the sentiment. Our CI/CD Pipelines quite heavily rely on the availability of multiple third-party modules that are primarily hosted on PS Gallery... I guess we should try to get rid of that single point of failure but Microsoft also should be doing more to guaranty the availability of something so vital to a lot of people.

Although I personally appreciate that @alerickson gave us the first official information about the problem from the responsible team from Microsoft, I think they should be doing a better job at communicating outages and mitigation progress than replying on Github issues.

I concur I have a change which is reliant on me pulling a module down to a new server so this is eating away at my change window.

[jaskaran915]

facing same issue. Our ADO pipelines relies on powershell gallery for ps module. when we can aspect fix. Same kind of issue was observed few days back, but it was fixed by India Noon time on that day.
