Google API causing SSL timeout

Description

Occasionally, a sync job will fail with the following while communicating with Google APIs:

  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/ssl.py", line 1163, in read
    return self._sslobj.read(len, buffer)
TimeoutError: The read operation timed out

e.g. https://gitlab.developers.cam.ac.uk/uis/devops/gsuite/sync-deploy/-/jobs/1729508

Investigate if there is any way to prevent, mitigate (increased timeout?) and/or catch-retry these failures.

Task list

• Investigate handling of SSL timeouts

Acceptance criteria

• Less sync run's will fail
