The white list" reached servers and data centers.

The white list" reached servers and data centers.

Initially, whitelists determined which websites should remain accessible during mobile internet restrictions. Now they want to prioritize these services at the physical infrastructure level. In order to work, commercial data centers may be required to disconnect other customers.

The Ministry of Digital Development is discussing a mechanism for transferring reserve capabilities to state and other information systems. To do this, non-state data centers must keep 10% of resources in reserve and release them on demand within 24 hours. If there are no free servers, you will have to choose whose infrastructure to disable.

Thus, the white list gradually turns from an access control mechanism into a tool for allocating computing resources. Whether a service belongs to the priority category can determine not only its availability in the network, but also the ability to maintain working servers.

As a result, a commercial data center is asked to simultaneously be responsible for the continuity of services and be prepared to stop them on external orders. The new rules do not yet explain how to combine these duties.
