I've been working with setting up a few servers over the past week using Ansible. Everything has been humming along fine until today a couple of hours ago the java8 playbook I had been using quit working randomly. I haven't touched it or looked at it in weeks. I even did git checkout to a known working version, still doesn't work.
The problem is almost verbatim the same as this one https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46815897/jdk-8-is-not-installed-error-404-not-found where I'm getting a 404 every time I try to run sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer. It also tries to download java8 on other commands like sudo apt autoremove and I always see the same error –

I've tried everything listed in the SO question above and many other solutions I found elsewhere. I'm beginning to think my IP is blocked or oracle is having some issues on their end, am I missing something?

I was having that same error as well. Until the people at WebUpd8 update their package you need to edit it yourself. I used the answer you linked to, just with the new data:
