Dear colleagues, Following the recent discussion on this list, we have published an article on RIPE Labs with principles, requirements and a new draft strategy framework for our use of cloud providers: https://labs.ripe.net/author/felipe_victolla_silveira/ripe-ncc-and-the-cloud... <https://labs.ripe.net/author/felipe_victolla_silveira/ripe-ncc-and-the-cloud-draft-principles-requirements-and-strategy-framework/> We gave an overview of this at the interim session of this WG last week. You can find the recording and minutes from that session here: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/active-wg/services/minutes/ripe-ncc... <https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/active-wg/services/minutes/ripe-ncc-services-working-group-interim-session-minutes> The chairs of the working group have been kind enough to schedule a second interim WG session for 6 September where we can discuss this framework in more detail. Until then, we look forward to hearing what you think on this mailing list. Kind regards, Felipe Victolla Silveira Chief Operations Officer RIPE NCC
