## Quote — verbatim

> The goal really is to get to cloud parity, in the sense that in a few years from now you should be able to go to Walmart or some large company and be like, hey, you can move all your stuff from Amazon to Akash. We're not there yet — we need to build a lot of capabilities.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Setting the roadmap horizon (reserved instances, managed backends, access control, secrets management); he stresses Akash never pivoted — the 2019 roadmap already listed private containers.
