It will be operational in the week of April 15-22

LACNIC’s new RPKI system will be operational in the week of 15 to 22 April, incorporating elements of the standards defined by the IETF. The new version will have greater stability than its predecessor and will incorporate open-source technologies that have been tested in similar environments.

The LACNIC team has been developing and implementing this new open-source platform based on Krill for nearly two years, which will increase the robustness of the resource certification system.

The migration process will be transparent

It should be noted that the migration process will be transparent to the users of the platform, in other words, users should not notice any impact on the service when accessing through https://milacnic.lacnic.net/lacnic/login.

The migration is scheduled to begin on 15 April at 9:30 am (UTC-3) and is expected to take approximately three hours to complete.
