Past, Present, and Future

DevOps: The Company Killer

  • Everyone wants global deployments.
  • Not everyone should should roll their own.
  • DevOps is a huge distraction for companies trying to build actual products.

What if Heroku, but also Edge?

  • CDNs have been distributing assets globally for years.
  • Docker images look and smell like static assets.
  • "Dynamic Delivery Network" - how hard could it be?

Platform: vCentralized

  • ✅Flexible hosting: Cloud, On-Prem, Colo.
  • ✅ "Push to Deploy", logging, billing, etc.
  • ❌ Sign on thousands of hosting providers.
  • 🤔 On second thought, what if it's a marketplace...
  • 😎 ... Yeah, that's the ticket.

Marketplace: vDEX

  • Trustless (pros and cons).
  • Transparent pricing (with history).
  • Simple payments (in principle).
  • UNSTOPPABLE.

The revolution will not be centralized!

The Akash Cloud

  • The Network: marketplace, payments.
  • The Platform: hosting, management.

Awesome-Akash

  • 80+ applications
  • Databases, games, blogging platforms, crypto wallets, DEX frontends, etc...
  • Ready-to-deploy configurations

Mining: pkt.cash

  • Akash resources can have a broad spectrum of uptime duration, quality.
  • The lower end of this spectrum represents a large amount of resources available to miners.
  • Also applicable to other state-less applications (CI, machine learning, finding E.T.)

Cosmos-Omnibus

Generic SDK node hosting infrastructure.

  • Publish docker images.
  • Multiple bootstrap options:
    • snapshot
    • state-sync
  • New: publish daily snapshots.

Cosmos-Omnibus

Coming Soon

  • Free trials (Authz)
  • JWT Authentication
  • Cosmos-omnibus: relayer fleet
  • Cosmos-omnibus: state-sync fleet
  • Bootstrap auditor ecosystem
  • More resources: IP address, GPU, storage, etc...
  • New CLI

JWT Authentication

Bootstrap traditional authentication from on-chain mTLS certs.

Auditor Ecosystem

I only want bids from providers that chiahaus says has premium-tier mining performance.

  • 👍 This has been supported since launch.
  • 😒 The Akash team is essentially the only auditor at this time.
  • Community grants is funding development of an open-source template.
  • Essential for increasing and decentralizing provider supply.

Challenges

  • Query performance.
  • Reliable event stream.
  • Database performance.
  • Database size.
  • Reliable state-sync.

Thanks for your time!
