I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Helsinki, Finland. 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.</div>

My only option is now to ask the community to help our research. I would highly appreciate if anyone can generously offer us RIPE ATLAS credits to kickstart our measurements (e.g. 1 million).</div>
