New on RIPE Labs: Announcing RIPE Atlas VM Anchors
Dear colleagues, We just this morning published an article announcing that, as of today, we are accepting applications for anyone interested in hosting RIPE Atlas VM anchors. The article points you to all the information you’ll need to apply for and install a virtual anchor: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/alun_davies/announcing-ripe-atlas-vm-anchors <https://labs.ripe.net/Members/alun_davies/ripe-atlas-anchor-vms> Kind regards, Alun Davies RIPE NCC
Great! We would like to apply, however the Apply to become a RIPE Atlas VM anchor host button does not work/nothing happens? Med venlig hilsen / Best regards Emil Stahl Pedersen Den tor. 8. nov. 2018 kl. 15.35 skrev Alun Davies <adavies@ripe.net>:

Hi Alun, (bcc'ed: atlas@) First. Thanks for sharing. Many months I have been looking forward to this first step in the direction of running the ATLAS network with only hardware units. Second. I know the RIPE NCC Atlas Team|Group is also looking into ways of providing the Atlas Probe as a VM option of sorts. I do not know how far this process is at the moment. But hoping you could share an overall status on this, too? E.g. current considerations, projects goals reached + not reached etc. Kind regards, Christoffer On 08/11/2018 15:35, Alun Davies wrote:

Hello, We are indeed looking at what it takes to do RIPE Atlas "software probes". From the hosts' perspective this is likely going to be a software package, or docker image, or such, that one can install on an existing device.
From our perspective this is a different approach from what we have so far (hardware-only probes), so deciding on if and how to expand to this area is not a trivial question. VM anchors are simpler in this regard.
As of now we're checking what software probes would change in terms of how we manage our infratructure and reviewing/verifying the related processes. I expect that we'll do some kind of pilot early next year, then decide if this is indeed a desired direction for RIPE Atlas. I hope that answers your question. Let me know if you need me to elaboration more. Regards, Robert Kisteleki for the RIPE Atlas team

I suggest looking into snap packages, too. As part of your evaluation on the distribution method of 'software probes'. The plus regarding snap packages is they are automatically updated without the need for user actions. (The auto-update functionality being a core design principle with the snap package manager.) Resulting in always up-to-date 'software probes' running on $ENDUSER machines.
