Highlights0 min 37 sec: Introduction of Guest  2 min 28 sec: High level description of the technology Cloud centralization is a problem; it needs to be decentralized Take over 100% or a partial amount of a machine added to the cloud network with special CoreOS based system5 min 13 sec: Akash NetworkDonate your idle servers into an available system for usage in a cloud managed by Overclock Labs2 Components – Blockchain for marketplace / Deployment platform 6 min 52 sec: How does marketplace work; who wants to use this network? Focus is on developers who want to use these systems#1 Reason – Cheaper than standard public clouds ; #2 Reason – Its distributed globally not at fixed known sites10 min 26sec: Blockchain as decentralized ledger to avoid central store Join the infrastructure without a formal registration on a single database; only listening for bids not publishing what they offer History of the infrastructure is public for customers to evaluate12 min 31 sec: How do I know where I am pushing my workloads? Can I trust the infrastructure provider? Issues arise with receiving workloads that are unknown to you16 min 38 sec: What do I do to add a rack of servers into Akash network?What you need to do vs what you should do Management Server, Network Isolation, MonitoringSeasonal Load Model ~ Electric Grid Analogy 20 min 23 sec: Identify Geography and Latency to Customers? 21 min 23sec: What do I ensure I am not getting dropped or pulled into a bidding trap?Workload goes down it automates a bid elsewhere in the networkConditions can be set should you need a long running workload and it is terminated by the hostDo you expect providers to monitor machines or do you as a service? 27 min 45 sec: Kubernetes Cluster across providers? Kubernetes Federation Why Kubernetes?  Writing our own Kubernetes using Kubernetes31 min 55 sec: Why not do this with Virtual Machines?Containers makes sense 32 min 40 sec: How long have you been working on this project?
