## Quote — verbatim

> I truly believe all the applications — I mean especially decentralized applications — should run on a decentralized cloud. Just don't run on Amazon... if a lot of nodes are running on Amazon, Amazon shutting you down could affect the security of the network, but rather if you have nodes running elsewhere, you're okay.

On validator infrastructure's web2 dependency; adds Akash is "like 90% cheaper than Azure and like 80% cheaper than Amazon — so why wouldn't you" ([00:43:31](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ump9HeOdi-w&t=2611s)).
