[ncc-services-wg] New on RIPE Labs: RPKI Repositories and the RIPE Database in the Cloud

Hello Alun,

while I welcome this technical move towards the cloud and a more
resilient infrastructure, please let's not forget to avoid any deadlocks
in the future.

I could also envision a difficult situation for DNS over HTTPS (i.e. how
would you run HTTPS _without_ DNS?).

What I want to say is, core-services that are fundamentally important,
such as the RIPE-Database or RPKI-validations rely on _direct_ availability.

In case of a catastrophic AWS failure, or simply "bootstrapping the
Internet" - let's always keep this in mind that we are able to start up
the net without too many interwoven services.

So this is a vote towards "keep also a plan-b in reserve" in case there
a problem.

All the best - and please keep healthy,

regards, Kurt
