Thank you for your help! 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. --Shay Carter She/Her/Hers AWIPS Software Engineer NSF Unidata If you're interested, please feel free to fill out a survey about the support you receive: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeDIkdk8qUMgq8ZdM4jhP-ubJPUOr-mJMQgxInwoAWoV5QcOw/viewform Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: DJO-400043 Department: Support AWIPS Priority: Normal Status: Open =================== NOTE: All email exchanges with NSF Unidata User Support are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and then made publicly available through the web.
