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-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
