How long before a VPS pops up running Oxide racks? Or, why wouldn't a VPS build on top of Oxide if they offer better efficiency and server management?

- INTPenis 2y agoBecause they use such esoteric software that you'll forever be reliant on Oxide. I'd rather they use more standardized open source software like Linux, Talos, k8s, Ceph, KubeVirt. Instead of rolling it all themselves on an OS that has a very small niche ecosystem.
- AceJohnny2 2y agoOxide is providing an x86 platform to run VMs/containers on. That's a commoditized market. The value they're offering is that the rack-level consumption and management is improved over the competition, but you should be able to run whatever you want on the actual compute, k8s or whatnot. This also means you'd not be forever reliant on Oxide.
