OK, but it seems better to retry this task in a loop; this approach seems to be bypassing their metadata servers; e.g. what if they decided to store things in GCP or quay.io instead?

Sometimes it failed for a long time, like this time(still flaky since Saturday). So retry does not work in this case.
I think saving to quay.io adds complex. Both GCP and S3 work for me.
BTW, I've tried to run ansible inside a container, but I dropped that for two reasons:
- it adds a lot of complexity and test code is not easy to understand.
- libvirt scenario blocked me.

504 gateway timeout,error when getting available versions of collection community.general, download two required collection packages and install them locally. And those two collections are more general and do not have too much update often.
