Akash: four years, zero unplanned downtime; AWS down ~200 times a year
Akash's Greg Osuri on the Future of Cloud Computing | Mainnet 2024 (Messari)
“Akash has been alive for about four years; it has not gone down a single time. Whereas if you look at networks like Amazon Web Services, it goes down about 200 times a year… The reason why Akash is incredibly reliable is because there’s not a single company or a single cluster that controls the network, but rather a distributed network of nodes that interact with each other in a peer-to-peer manner without a central point of failure.” — 00:13:50
Context: Reliability argument; he pairs it with the CrowdStrike incident and an anecdote of an Akash auth exploit fixed by an open-source user before anyone was impacted (“fault tolerance, not fault avoidance”).
