SUMMARY

Getting occasional 503 from Ansible Galaxy.
Last one happend ~ Oct 24, 2023 4:38pm GMT+0200

We hit this usually in CI.

[WARNING]: - bobbyrenwick.pip was NOT installed successfully: Error when
70finding available api versions from default (https://galaxy.ansible.com) (HTTP
71Code: 503, Message: Service Unavailable)
72ERROR! - you can use --ignore-errors to skip failed roles and finish processing the list.
73ansible-galaxy [core 2.14.11]

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml

EXPECTED RESULTS

ansible-galaxy should auto-retry on some of the 50x http error codes, could be activated by a command line switch.

ACTUAL RESULTS

Seeing this quite often, maybe ansible-galaxy could do automatic retries in this case?

We love Ansible, but issues like this make it a bit pain to use in CI.
