First off, let me say we're happy to hear you're using CAVE in the classroom.  
Second, we
highly recommend you subscribe to our mailing list (awips2-users) where we send 
out important
information about our EDEX server and our bi-weekly blog series, AWIPS Tips:
https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/support/index.html#mailinglists

Unfortunately, right now our EDEX instances are down because of scheduled 
maintenance from 
our cloud provider on Sunday, that has caused lasting issues that we're still 
experiencing now.
The cloud provider has been working on resolving the issues for the past two 
days, but we still
do not have any kind of ETA as to when their services will be restored.
I am hopeful that we will have EDEX running by Thursday (when your class 
meets), but I would
strongly encourage planning a backup lesson if possible, in case our machines 
are still 
unavailable.

Are staff are standing by waiting to boot up our EDEX services as soon as our 
cloud platform
is operational again.  We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience, and we 
plan to notify our
users immediately, via our mailing list, as soon as our servers are live again.

Thanks for your understanding.
