<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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: <a

<div>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.</div>

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" (<a

scheduling very large-scale measurements over the

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
