[Tools-discuss] Re: Key IETF service outages during transition to new infrastructure on 20 June

[Corinne Cath <[e-mail]>]

Hi all—

I was looking for who the provider is of this new cloud infrastructure but
could not find any details.

However I’m well aware i might have missed earlier emails.

If anyone could point me in the right direction, that would be much
appreciated.

Kind regards,
