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> <div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> <br> </div> <div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> My only option is now to ask the community to help our research.
