I notice there is no mention of IPv4 or IPv6 address usage and its cost. Why do I think we need to discuss it? Because of this recent article: https://labs.ripe.net/author/dan-fidler/aws-introduces-charges-for-public-ip... If AWS has now introduced a $43/IP/yr cost, we can assume every cloud provider will follow suit. So what is the IP usage concept for RIPE NCC? Use cloud provided IPs? BYOIP? If so, does NCC have a big enough pool or will you be buying IPv4 from the marketplace? Or will you only be using IPv6? I think the Cloud Strategy Framework document v3 needs to address these points.

Dear colleagues,
We have now published the final version of our cloud strategy, which was approved by our Executive Board at its last meeting in September. You can find this on RIPE Labs here: https://labs.ripe.net/author/felipe_victolla_silveira/ripe-ncc-cloud-strateg... <https://labs.ripe.net/author/felipe_victolla_silveira/ripe-ncc-cloud-strategy-framework/>
Those of you who read our earlier draft won't find any surprises in the document. Apart from making it more concise, the only change is that the use of containers is now allowed under the strict interpretation of our 'Avoid vendor lock-in' requirement (this is noted in the table).
The final part is to agree on the criticality of specific services with the community. We will give you an update on this at RIPE 83.
Regards
Felipe Victolla Silveira Chief Operations Officer RIPE NCC
