A month ago FreeDesktop.org/X.Org experienced a new cloud crisis, with EquinixMetal shutting down and losing access to all FreeDesktop.org cloud/hosting resources at the end of April. FreeDesktop.orgGitLab not only powers the X.Org project, but also Mesa, Wayland, and countless other Linux desktop open source projects.
New details about their plans to migrate from Equinix Metal ahead of the end of April deadline have now been made public. They will now look to Hetzner for a hosting solution and use Fastly as their CDN. They intend to deploy a Kubernetes cluster with German hosting provider Hetzner.
Details are still being worked out and are subject to change, but at least it looks like they're currently on track to successfully complete the migration before the April deadline. Interested users can view tentative plans at FreeDesktop.org.
