Hi Will I wasn't aware that the RIPE Atlas system/service had any reliance on objects in the RIPE Database. Maybe Robert can elaborate more on this? There are only 4 PERSON objects in the RIPE Database that reference the Whitepages ORGANISATION object. None of these make any reference in remarks to RIPE Atlas. So clearly no one is using the old Whitepages service for RIPE Atlas. There is 1 ROLE object in the database that does refer to RIPE Atlas, CAAO-RIPE. This object was created in 2014 and was recently modified. But it is not referenced anywhere...so it should have been automatically deleted after 90 days. Maybe Ed can look at why this object still exists in the database? cheers denis co-chair DB-WG On Thu, 28 Jan 2021 at 16:45, Will Scott via db-wg <db-wg@ripe.net> wrote:
If the whitepages are removed, what is the recommended path for maintiners of Atlas nodes?
The thread at https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ripe-atlas/2016-November/003091.html suggests that a person/role created in the DB which are used to maintain atlas nodes will be locked and then removed unless it either owns resources, or is in the whitepages.
