Summary
MegaFon Cloud
hosting cloud legacy
CLOUD-MEGAFON is a small autonomous system belonging to PJSC MegaFon, the
Russian telecommunications group. Despite the parent's name, this AS is not the
mobile network: it carries MegaFon's cloud and data-centre estate.
What it's used for
- Announces three /24s inside
178.176.224.0/23and adjacent space, registered under the netnameMF-STF-Cloud-DC1and maintained by MegaFon's own maintainers. The netname is the whole story: a MegaFon cloud data centre. - Hosted and virtual-machine workloads for MegaFon cloud customers.
Notable
- A kind trap. MegaFon is one of Russia's big four mobile operators, so the name pulls toward
mobile. It is the wrong answer here. This AS holds well under a thousand addresses, has no subscriber pools, and its registry netname says Cloud-DC. MegaFon's actual mobile and broadband subscribers are numbered on other, far larger autonomous systems. - Sampled addresses carry no reverse DNS at all, which is typical of cloud address space handed to tenants rather than named by the operator.
- The low AS number is a legacy allocation; the current use of the AS is modern cloud hosting.
