[atlas] Requesting RIPE ATLAS credits for research

Hi Nitinder. 

If you haven’t already contact the ripe atlas team and they can lift the limit on the number of nodes used and other restrictions to better allow point in time and frequent testing so if you wanted to see the impact of events that occur in routing during your testing. 

They have been very responsive when I made a similar request and it’s a great use of the resource. 

Regards
Alexander

I am currently involved in a research project which is taking a critical look at the availability and reachability of datacenters from all (or most of) cloud providers operating worldwide. The project requires me to conduct large-scale PING measurements to compute servers hosted in these datacenters. However, I am a new RIPE ATLAS user and do not have any credits to set up a measurement. Also, unfortunately, the tight timeline of the project makes earning credits over time infeasible.
