The survey will close on 14 September 2021. 


-- What do you think of our new user interface (UI)?
Help us improve the user interface (UI) of our services by taking part in our short survey and sharing your feedback. It will only take you three minutes to complete!

You can find the survey at:

2. Your Technical Update
-- RIPE NCC and the Cloud: Draft Principles, Requirements and Strategy Framework
How is the RIPE NCC using third-party cloud providers to support its services? Our draft cloud strategy framework aims to bring everything together in a way that sets out some boundaries and identifies critical elements:

-- RPKI
On 14 September, we will update rpki-validator.ripe.net to replace the RIPE NCC RPKI Validator with Routinator. This will change the user interface. More information will be shared with the Routing Working Group in the coming weeks.


-- RIPEstat
--- More resilient RIPEstat UIs
Both RIPEstat UIs are now using dedicated endpoints for sourcing data. This makes them more resilient in cases of increased demand.

--- RIPEstat UI updated with new features
We are continuing to improve the RIPEstat UI based on user feedback and feature requests. Last week, we released a new set of changes:

3. What's Happening in Our Community?

In August, RIPE Labs featured articles from community members on human rights and the Internet, IPv6 capability in gaming, zero trust architecture, traceroutes and transparency for the digital economy:
