[AWIPS #HMU-175767]: AWIPS II down again?

Hello Jens,

The error message

Caused by: org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException: Connection to 
http://edex-azure.unidata.ucar.edu:9581 refused


indicates that you are still pointing CAVE to the cloud server, which has 
stopped serving data as of last week.  I've attached here the message that was 
sent to our AWIPS II mailing list about the Azure instance:

Hello AWIPS II users,

Many of you know that Unidata has offered an EDEX server in the cloud 
(edex-azure.unidata.ucar.edu) for 14.2.1 beta testers. This server was funded 
by a short Microsoft grant, a situation that allowed us to offer live data to 
our users and evaluate the performance a system at this scale.

I'm sorry to announce that the Azure cloud server will shut down tonight, 
February 10, until further notice.

We are discussing alternative ways to provide a testing server to AWIPS II 
users, but until the next step is determined, sites will have to install and 
configure their own EDEX servers and direct their CAVE clients locally.

Thank you for your participation and continued interest in AWIPS II. One last 
bit of news is that 14.4.1 is being prepared for release in the coming months. 
A release notice will be posted to this list when it is available.
