Dear RIPE community,
I hope you are all safe and sound.
This email is a follow-up to our request for Atlas credits back in
September 2020. Following our request, we received an overwhelming
response from the community to assist our research by transferring us
credits and giving us best wishes for project completion. Today, I am
elated to let you all know that we have successfully concluded our
project and I would be happy to share the results with all of you.
Our project focused on analyzing the availability and reachability of
cloud datacenters across the globe. The motivation for our work
stemmed from the lack of any recently conducted global cloud
measurement study which can be used for assessing the growth of cloud
networks in the past decade. We feel that such an impartial study is
not only useful for researchers working in domains such as edge
computing, 5G/6G, cloud computing etc. but can also be valuable for
folks from industry and for the general public.
Back in 2019 we launched our cloud reachability study, targeting 10
major cloud operators (189 compute cloud regions) across the globe. We
collected ICMP and TCP pings along with Traceroutes periodically over
the Atlas platform. The results from this project has been
successfully published in top-tier venues such as ACM HotNets 2020,
The Web Conference (WWW) 2021 and IFIP Networking 2021. We release all
collected dataset and associated code for public and community use.
You can browse/play with our results learn more about the project
objectives and download our datasets from here:

I would like to thank the RIPE community for being so supportive to
our (and generally to) research endeavours. If you have any questions
regarding our work, I will be very happy to answer them.
Thanks and Regards

Dear RIPE community,
I hope you are all safe and sound.
I am a Postdoctoral fellow at the Technical University of Munich,
Germany. We are currently working on an ongoing research project
which aims to analyze the availability and reachability of cloud data
centers globally. The first work of our work will appear in ACM
HotNets 2020 titled "Pruning Edge Research with Latency Shears"
(http://conferences.sigcomm.org/hotnets/2020/program.html
<http://conferences.sigcomm.org/hotnets/2020/program.html>). We are
currently preparing the camera-ready version of the paper and will
share it with the community by hosting it (and the associated
dataset) publicly soon.
We are currently planing to submit the second leg of our work to a
conference with submission deadline a month. In order to complete all
set of measurements for required analysis, we are scheduling very
large-scale measurements over the platform which has burned through
almost all our credits and left us in need. I have always found the
RIPE Atlas community to be helpful and generous towards research and
I am hoping that you could support our research by donating us some
of your spare credits. Your help will be highly appreciated.
