Hi Folks,

I am using the arm beats nightlies from [Jenkins / Google Cloud storage](https://beats-ci.elastic.co/job/elastic+beats+6.x+multijob-package-linux/gcsObjects/)for some docker containers and when I rebuilt one the other day the resource had moved.

I am wondering if I need to copy the packages to a permanent location or whether the builds will hang around for a reasonable amount of time?

Also Google storage doesn't allow curl or wget (which breaks Docker image building), for example if you have a url like [https://storage.cloud.google.com/beats-ci-artifacts/snapshots/packetbeat/packetbeat-oss-7.0.0-SNAPSHOT-armhfp.rpm.sha512](https://storage.cloud.google.com/beats-ci-artifacts/snapshots/packetbeat/packetbeat-oss-7.0.0-SNAPSHOT-armhfp.rpm.sha512) you need to update the host to [storage.googleapis.com](http://storage.googleapis.com), which is a real hassle..

Is there a reliable and programmatic way we can access these builds?
