2023-2024 Plans and Community Input

Item 1: Fourth AuthDNS core site

We deployed a new AuthDNS core site in Asia for increased capacity and resilience of our AuthDNS service. This was originally planned for Q4 2023 but was moved to 2024 due to external delays.

Completed in Q1 2024.

Item 2: Operating system update of DNS servers

We will finish updating the operating system of our DNS servers as part of the regular maintenance we do on all our systems.

With this change, we can offer ease of maintenance and benefit our members as they could make changes to their DNS configurations more easily.

Status: Completed in Q2 2024.

Item 3: Offboarding users and sunsetting the ns.ripe.net service

As announced on RIPE Labs, we will work on offboarding users from the ns.ripe.net service. We will then remove the service and clean up the related code from various places.

Status: In progress

2022 Plans and Community Input

Item 1: DNSSEC improvements (CSK + TTL for NS/DS)

We made some small changes to our DNS services. This included the move to a Combined Signing Key (from separate Zone and Key signing keys), lowering the TTL for NS and DS records for our members’ rDNS and upgrading Zonemaster.

With this change, we can offer ease of maintenance and benefit our members as they could make changes to their DNS configurations more easily.

Completed in Q2 2022.
