What is Akash Network?
Akash Network is a decentralized, open-source cloud computing marketplace that connects those who need computing resources with those who have compute capacity to lease. It offers a secure, transparent, and efficient platform for buying and selling compute, with a focus on providing access to high-performance GPUs, including NVIDIA models, at significantly reduced costs compared to traditional cloud providers.
The network is built on Kubernetes and prioritizes user privacy and security. It allows for anonymous application deployment and safeguards user identity, using a peer-to-peer communication model that guarantees data privacy and payment transparency. The platform leverages Infrastructure as Code (IaC) through its SDL orchestration layer, enabling complex deployments across multiple providers and regions.
