"Failure during content distribution" when deploying more than ~3000 files

[asbjornu]

Describe the bug swa deploy times out after 300 seconds with the error message Failure during content distribution if the number of uploaded files surpasses ~3000 files.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Produce more than 3000 files to upload to an SWA.
2. Execute swa deploy to deploy the 3000+ files.
3. Notice how Status: InProgress. Time: … is printed to the console 20 times.
4. Notice how the deployment ends after 5 minutes with the error message Failure during content distribution.

Expected behavior I expect SWA to be able to upload more than ~3000 files. Either by allowing the timeout to be increased, or – preferably – by the SWA infrastructure simply working faster to distribute the files.
