## Quote — verbatim

> As we keep delivering, the goal is to get to cloud parity. Cloud parity is when we can sufficiently say that you can actually move all your workloads from your Amazon of the world to Akash. We're not there yet... our biggest capabilities, be it reservations or managed backends, I think will put us to the parity.
