A New Distributed Cloud Architecture

Episode Overview:

• Welcome to the show. Let’s start by talking a little bit about your background, and what led you to trying to create a new vision of “the cloud”.
• What types of problems exist with the current (mostly centralized) cloud architectures today? Or where are there new opportunities to rethink and introduce a new architecture?
• Let’s talk about the main concepts behind the Ridge architecture. How much does it borrow from your experience at Akamai, and how much of it is your team looking at the world differently?
• What are the core primitives of Ridge? How do companies engage with it?
• What are some of the near-term and long-term impacts that you expect companies would see in using the Ridge architecture vs. more centralized cloud architectures?
