   the entire cloud will be split in regions. all the nodes in a region will join a "vpn-like" network and all the traffic between them will be encrypted. there will be different kind of nodes: network, storage, compute and region co

   regarding the performance question, the blockchain is never in the hot path. it will be used only for what's designed to. align a set of nodes on the same view of the world. so, for notarization of deployments, node configuration, stor

   thanks! the https://hello.lttle.cloud page is hosted on this runtime right now :) you can deploy it yourself if you want. however, I would give it a few months until hosting your own apps on your own nodes.

   we replicate storage both in the same region (on multiple nodes) and in another close region (for redundency). a similar thing is done by aws with EBS. it's replicated in a region in a single availability zones and you pay extra if you

   indeed building a network to host an entire cloud's worth of apps is not easy. however, it would be even harder without the distributed approach. this way, we don't have to buy all the hosts, instead we can "rent" them f

   i don't think it didn't catch. while unikraft (the kernel) is not a new project, the unikraft cloud is very recent (at most one year old i think). we share the same vision for eliminating the idle time costs, but the approach is q

   agree. but until you have enough traffic to justify this, you're eating the costs, and they are not negligible, especially for small businesses and startups. also you have to maintain the software running on these nodes, make sure you

    the blockchain will never be in the hot path, during the execution. it will be used for notarization.

    we want to make sure that the users pay exactly what they used and that the nodes participating with compute/storage/network resources get rewards for what they contibute and can't spoof fake workload. given that we don'
