Seems like we finally have an established sponsorship/contract with our new CDN provider.
Dirk announced the trial of CDN https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/4YOJ2MMSET5JN42T2H2GAHQG5MG5YGBT/
Let early adapters using our zypp-services-enabled openSUSE-repos test it out.

Dirk suggested to use HTTP by default https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSE-repos/pull/27
When you use https, you have the tls handshake overhead and you get redirected to only-https mirrors. Also http by default enables systems with experimental ssl setup.
HTTP change is also Merged. Articles is out https://news.opensuse.org/2023/07/31/try-out-cdn-with-opensuse-repos/
Marking as resolved.
Metadata Update from @lkocman: - Issue close_status updated to: Completed - Issue status updated to: Closed (was: Open)
Please revert this change. Using HTTP causes extremely slow updates for lots of users (me included). I do not understand why, but metadata retrieval for some repositories (especially repo-oss) is dead slow. Once metadata is downloaded, file download speeds are normal. Switching to HTTPS (suggestion found on forums.opensuse.org) fixes the problem. But now that Tumbleweed uses CDN updates, problem is back, and trying to manually change from http to https in the repo file does not work anymore.
