Ouch! Should we skip on that platform?

I don't know why it only started failing (frequently) recently. I don't see any related changes in the commit history.

[mcollina]

Where do we source our Windows machines? I've seen a significant degradation in performance for GitHub Actions on Windows (which uses Azure), leading to many of my project to start failing on Windows.

My 2 cents is something has changed on the host and the test is now flaky enough to be a problem (while before it failed spuriously)

Marking it: #47134

[targos]

Azure and Rackspace (~50%/50%)

[targos]

The three failures linked by @tniessen happened on Rackspace machines

[tniessen]

@targos Almost all recent builds have failed. Are all of these on rackspace?

[targos]

I don't know how to check without opening each run one by one.

[tniessen]

I don't expect you to do that, of course 😄 And I assume that we couldn't do anything about it even if it was rackspace machines, so let's go ahead with marking it as flaky (or skip if necessary) for now.
