Yeah me too. Like I kinda compare oxide to coreweave and coreweave is built on top of k8s afaik. I'm wondering what the underlying tech oxide leans on. If I was doing this I would be using talos and k8s on baremetal and building on top of that. Container first rather than VM first seems like a big advantage imo. Most workloads will be containers.
- bitlad 2mo agoCoreweave is a cloud provider right? I dont think it is apple to apple comparison.
- bakies 2mo agoWhat's a cloud? K8s is a cloud imo, so is what oxide is providing afaict
- fragmede 2mo agoCloud is an API you can hit to get access to hardware. Oxide sells hardware.
- bakies 2mo agoOxide has an API on top that gets you services. The whole pitch is AWS with purchased hardware, no? That's cloud
- fragmede 2mo agoYes but you buy the hardware and have to rack it, and then you have a cloud at home.
- steveklabnik 2mo agoExtreme nit: because you purchase a rack at a time, you don't actually rack it. You wheel it in, plug in network and power, and hit "on".
- fragmede 2mo agoOh man, genuinely thank you for that nit. Gives me different imagery to imagine for the Oxide node I'll never be able to afford.
- steveklabnik 2mo agoI'm glad, I meant it in semi-jest, because it's true, but also just a very funny thing to "well actually" about.
- esseph 2mo ago> The whole pitch is AWS with purchased hardware, no? HBOM SBOM Unparalleled support w/ vertical integration Tons of companies will see you a "cloud". The other parts seem pretty unique.
- esseph 2mo agoMost security minded orgs and also AWS deploy containers in VMs for better security oxide and coreweave? Oxide is in-house custom everything. Switches. Racks. Power bus. BMC. Firmware. OS. Software and APIs. Virtualization. Etc.
