Ownerless Web

The document discusses the threats of centralized cloud infrastructure and proposes a decentralized cloud as an alternative. It argues that centralized clouds concentrate too much power in too few companies, lead to censorship and lack of flexibility. It then describes Akash, a decentralized network that allows provisioning, scaling and securing of compute workloads through an on-chain auction marketplace for off-chain container deployments. Users can deploy applications to the decentralized cloud through simple configuration files and commands. This provides a more open, flexible and censorship-resistant alternative to centralized cloud infrastructure.
