PHASING OUT THE IP ANALYSER The IP Analyser was phased out from the LIR Portal because its functionality is now integrated within the My Resources area of the portal. The new implementation is also much faster. For the next two months, the menu items for the IPv4 and IPv6 Analysers in the LIR Portal will redirect to My Resources, after which period they will be removed. Users of the IP Analyser API will not see any change except for a performance improvement. MIGRATION OF CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM We are migrating our configuration management system to a mixed solution using Salt and Ansible. The following RIPE Labs article describes the issues we were facing with the old system and the selection of a new platform: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/marco_giuliani/how-were-migrating-our-configur... GDPR COMPLIANCE Minor adjustments have been made to the Membership Application wizard for compliance with the GDPR. Some amendments to the RIPE Database are still due to take place, and we will continue to review RIPE NCC services to ensure compliance with the GDPR.
