RIPE Atlas Quarterly Planning

We have three objectives in publishing our quarterly planning:

  1. We want to be transparent about the work we are doing
  2. We want your input on that work and our planning, and we want to document that input and let you know if and when we can add your suggestions to our planning
  3. We want an open dialogue with members and community on developments around RIPE Atlas

We launched this initiative in Q2 2022, and we are open to improving what we publish here and how we do that. So let us know if there are ways we can better present our plans.

We will update this page as our activities progress and continue to share updates on RIPE Labs, on the RIPE NCC Membership Discussion, MAT Working Group (WG) and RIPE Atlas mailing lists, and at RIPE Meetings and other events.

Q4 2024 Plans

Last updated: 27 September 2024

Item 1: UI renewal

We are working on restructuring and renewing pages of the user interface to make them more user-friendly.

Status: In progress

Item 2: Infrastructure renewal

We are working on containerising the infrastructure components and along the way modernising the OS, libraries and frameworks we depend on.

The component related to the communication with probes ("controllers") is almost 100% done, and we have started working on other components.

Status: In progress

Item 3: Implementing earlier proposals

We are working on implementing two earlier proposals: limitations on “probe farming” and supporting “measurement aggregators”.

Status: In progress

Community Input on Planning

We want the community to contribute to our plans and suggest additional work items. Please share your comments with us or post them on the RIPE NCC Membership Discussion, MAT WG or RIPE Atlas mailing lists. We'll also monitor all the other channels where people talk about these services.

When we receive feedback that can significantly impact our planning or needs a further response, we will add it

Archived Quarterly Plans

You can find our plans from the previous quarters on this page. The Q4 2024 plans will be archived once we publish the Q1 2025 planning.
