Hello Alun, while I welcome this technical move towards the cloud and a more resilient infrastructure, please let's not forget to avoid any deadlocks in the future. I could also envision a difficult situation for DNS over HTTPS (i.e. how would you run HTTPS _without_ DNS?). What I want to say is, core-services that are fundamentally important, such as the RIPE-Database or RPKI-validations rely on _direct_ availability. In case of a catastrophic AWS failure, or simply "bootstrapping the Internet" - let's always keep this in mind that we are able to start up the net without too many interwoven services. So this is a vote towards "keep also a plan-b in reserve" in case there a problem. All the best - and please keep healthy, regards, Kurt Am 10.05.21 um 13:40 schrieb Alun Davies:
Dear colleagues,
The mission critical services the RIPE NCC provides to the Internet community require a solid technical foundation. In this new article on RIPE Labs, Felipe Silveira looks at plans to use cloud infrastructure as a means to that end. The full article is available here:
