## Quote — verbatim

> And I fell in love with it and dropped everything I was doing. And I was like, yeah, Kubernetes is going to be the future. This was in 2014. And I built a company around taking Kubernetes to market in 2015. I started Overclock Labs.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Origin story — a past prediction that paid off (he notes 80% of cloud used Kubernetes by 2021); Overclock's original edge-computing multi-cloud vision became Akash.
