(OP)
after I installed EPEL repos yum update hangs with no sense reason:

CODE --> log

 One of the configured repositories failed (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 7 - x86_64),
 and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only
 safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this: 

CODE --> wget

[root@centos7 yum.repos.d]# wget -q http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml
[root@centos7 yum.repos.d]# echo $?
0
[root@centos7 yum.repos.d]# ls -al repomd.xml
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 4541 Aug 17 18:24 repomd.xml
[root@centos7 yum.repos.d]# head -10 repomd.xml
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<repomd xmlns="http://linux.duke.edu/metadata/repo" xmlns:rpm="http://linux.duke.edu/metadata/rpm">

[root@centos7 yum.repos.d]# 


So, why yum gets stuck on the url and wget not?

CODE --> cfg

[root@centos7 yum.repos.d]# yum upgrade ca-certificates --disablerepo=epel
No packages marked for update
[root@centos7 yum.repos.d]# yum update --disablerepo=epel
No packages marked for update
[root@centos7 yum.repos.d]# grep -e ^mirr -e ^baseurl -e enab -e ^\\[ epel*

[root@centos7 yum.repos.d]# 

CODE --> fastmirr

[root@centos7 pluginconf.d]
# pwd
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d
[root@centos7 pluginconf.d]# grep ^enabled fastestmirror.conf
enabled=0 

any clue what is going wrong in Centos 7? I don;t remember such issues in Centos 6.

of course I can download with wget packages from epel manually and install it with no issue, but why it does not work in yum?
