What this post added

This post details the migration of GitLab CI artifact downloads from Google Cloud Storage to Google Cloud CDN. This change aims to improve download speeds for CI users by leveraging edge caches.

The post also outlines potential impacts on users with firewalls and provides guidance on troubleshooting common error messages.
