The realm of cloud computing, characterized by the delegation of tasks to remote servers, faces inherent challenges. While it generally functions as advertised, inefficiencies persist within the system. Major cloud providers offer usable products, but they are encumbered by limitations that can be promptly overcome through advances in container technology and the implementation of a robust token economy. This white paper articulates our vision for Akash Network, a pioneering global spot market for cloud computing services.
We envision a future where the global cloud infrastructure is decentralized and shared among various cloud service providers. It’s a vision of a market that swiftly deploys and liquidates increasingly standardized data center computing resources in a secure, transparent, and spot-priced manner. Within this ecosystem, services are traded democratically, creating a unified environment accessible to all.
This paper introduces Akash, a decentralized and competitive cloud infrastructure network that facilitates the distribution of applications across multiple cloud service providers worldwide. It offers an overview of the current market landscape, details our utilization of cutting-edge serverless container orchestration solutions to address existing challenges, outlines the fundamentals and significance of our native token, AKASH, and presents our comprehensive roadmap for launch.
