[service] Planned Downtime for RIPE NCC Access
by Theodoros Polychniatis 26 Jan '21

26 Jan '21

Dear colleagues, On Tuesday, 2 February at 16:00 (UTC), we plan to make improvements to the resilience of the infrastructure supporting RIPE NCC Access (SSO). We expect around two hours of downtime, provided the migration goes to plan. You will not be able to log in with your RIPE NCC Access account during this period, or perform any actions where the account is required. This includes accessing the LIR Portal, RIPE Database updates, managing RIPE Atlas probes, Certified Professionals exams, etc. This follows a hardware and software upgrade we performed in November 2020. Best regards, Theo -- Theodoros Polychniatis Asst. Manager Software Engineering RIPE NCC
