Dutch parliament sends motion to government, asking them to make sure the DNS (Domain Name Service) for the .nl TLD (Top Level Domain) is running on infrastructure that is physically located in the Netherlands. The planned outsourcing of (parts of) the infrastructure to AWS is to be reversed and the government shall inform the parliament of the outcome before the summer break. https://mastodon.nl/@bert_hubert/114184175675997330
@jwildeboer Hmmm, I wonder where .nz is running. I used to maintain the physical servers (and the entire software stack), but now that they're using the .ca software, I don't know where it runs...
@jwildeboer
I suspect this solves one problem but creates a bigger one as it would dramatically reduce the level of redundancy.
My view is that there should be a failover site as far away as possible. The Netherlands (excluding external territories) is too small to achieve this.

I want to personally thank you for defining initialisms in the text of your toot. It shows you are thinking about who might be reading it and a desire to communicate effectively. Cheers to you!

What idiot VP made the decision to move it to AWS in the first place? I'd rather scribble on a napkin and hand-deliver info before I'd host it on AWS.
