Decentralized Cloud Computing
Global Cloud Market
The global cloud computing market was $545.8 billion, and is set to exceed $1000 billion by 2027, with Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure holding a combined market share of more than 60%. [1] These Public Clouds are getting way ahaed.
The growth is driven by increased consumer demand, smartphone usage, development of web and mobile applications, and the high cost of on-site server management. However, current cloud services lack flexibility and have high recurring costs. With 85% of server capacity underused and growing global demand, there is a need for a more distributed, flexible and cost-effective cloud infrastructure.
Why Decentralized Cloud Computing
TODO
Only Open Source can achieve this.
Storage
Let's start with storage, because that's maybe the least problematic.
IPFS
I created IPFS Uncovered to get myself through the basics.
Compute
Flux and Akash network do a lot to bring DeCloud to life.
Tools
OpenToFu hopefully can help these platforms grow.
