Anbox is for desktop, aind is for cloud (and edge).
The biggest advantage of running Android on cloud/edge I think is anti-theft.
Also, it will be soon able to run multiple aind pods on Kubernetes with distinct UID mappings. (I need to submit patches to Anbox upstream)
- chii 6y ago> The biggest advantage of running Android on cloud/edge I think is anti-theft. what is this anti-theft? What's being stolen?
- severine 6y agoMaybe: Someone steals your smartphone now -> they've got everything , and a smartphone vs Someone steals your clouded smartphone -> they've got an empty smartphone and no data.
- yjftsjthsd-h 6y agoMaking your phone a thin client makes you completely dependent on network; that's a significant tradeoff.
- packetlost 6y agoThis is a very, very, very bad idea. Just encrypt your phone with a strong passcode and backup regularly. Making your phone entirely dependent on a strong internet connection is a recipe for a bad time.
- AkihiroSuda 6y agoI agree that the phone should be encrypted (in conjunction with aind), but people are likely to set weak passcode like "1234" (or finger pattern) because they want to open email/phone/twitter/maps/payment apps in a few seconds. aind is expected to be used only for sensitive apps, with more strong passcode.
- woodrowbarlow 6y agoa hardware phone whose OS is running in the cloud? that sounds pretty bandwidth-heavy on the LTE network.
