It seems any lab that needs github is busted.

Not to be rude but not thinking through the impacts of the change seem rather basic stuff, silence about the problem also does not help in the real world.

can we either fix or delete the labs that require github so no one else wastes their time.

Fully agree. I understand there are local repos now on the labs but if I want to use another repo, in my case another Cisco datacenter repo, to experiment we can no longer do this. Seems silly for a sandbox dedicated to development to not allow github.

Hey there, if you can advise on which sandbox you are seeing this issue - it can be raised with our engineering team. As you noted the internet access policy within our sandbox reservation instances has undergone some changes.

Hope this helps.

Honestly it's any lab because of the Internet access restriction you added. No lab can use GitHub which is where everyone gets their scripts if they want to test their own vs the provided ones. Specifically, I am using the open NX-OS lab and wanted to use other CIsco scripts to test VXLAN EVPN but I can't pull anything from github to do it.

Thanks, i am speaking with the Sandbox engineering team now for you to see what the alternative is here. Please standby.

Thank you.

Geoffrey, i spoke with the ENT team on accessing GitHub from the devbox and outbound access. The response is as follows:

"DevNet Sandbox is currently assessing the security posture of key sandboxes, in order to keep them available and useful to the whole community. This assessment is an ongoing process. Requirements from the community are being taken into account and will be folded into this continuity work in the coming weeks.”

Hope this helps.
