The gallery is running EXTREMELY slow and packages aren't hashing

[nexxai]

Our ADO pipelines which install modules from the gallery are failing at random times. We're also not the only ones having issues: https://twitter.com/HtekConsulting/status/1325903714754899971?s=20

Hi @nexxai are other packages not hashing as well or just the Az modules? The gallery running slowly was likely due to a couple of deployments pushed out today.

[nexxai]

Unfortunately I can't answer that question as we only use Az modules in this script.

Looks like it had to do with the CDN issues from earlier: https://twitter.com/Steve_MSFT/status/1325973388083359746?s=20

Everything is working properly now.
