Our public EDEX server is currently down because our cloud provider is trying 
to resolve issues
from planned maintenance over the weekend.  Unfortunately, they did not 
anticipate the 
maintenance to cause these problems, and have been unable to resolve them as of 
yet.  We will
bring our EDEX servers back online as soon as our cloud provider becomes 
usable.  We will let
our users know important status updates through our mailing list 
(awips2-users). If you haven't
joined already, please join now to be notified when the servers are back online:
