K-root

A K-root hosted node is a small, rack-mounted server with defined hardware specifications, managed by the RIPE NCC, that serves its local networks with a fresh copy of the DNS root zone.

In August 2022, Kazakhstan national operator Kazakhtelecom, in cooperation with the RIPE NCC, deployed a K-root DNS server on its network, hosted at a Tier-3 data centre of the operator in the city of Pavlodar.
