## Quote — verbatim

> Data centers are great to get sovereignty but they're not good to scale. That's why Akash \[has\] the idea of a supercloud... where you can have a heterogeneous resource set and give a homogeneous layer that addresses all the functionality of the cloud, from deployment, scheduling, fault tolerance, observability to automation... Akash is the first commercial implementation of a supercloud.
