## Quote — verbatim

> Akash is not really a cloud, it's a market, right? If you're using Akash you're actually deploying on an Equinix or an OVH or, you know, someone's home server if you choose to. The point is it's not really a single provider but rather you're going to a bunch of bare metal providers.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Recurring framing of Akash as a marketplace spanning tier-1 data centers down to home hardware.
