Hello,
<br>
<br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">
Atlas did a good review on this

I agree virtual probes save costs but there is other risks as highlighted, you can in theory convert the software on the probe to a VM however it would likely involve dismantling the probe and I'm pretty sure RIPE Atlas would be happy. For each virtual probe you would need a physical so pretty pointless.

Luckily they don't use a lot of power or space and easily fit in racks, cupboards or even down the back of your sofa depending on where your router is.

Anyway hope this helps.
