“The year was 2021. Barely after a 24hr notice, Parler was kicked off AWS servers and vanished from the internet (at least for some time). While the concerns behind this action could be argued, it was a crucial moment that unveiled a corporatist grasp on the centralized internet.” Cloud computing signified a massive breakthrough for business on the internet. Instead of having to set up and maintain expensive infrastructure and servers, business owners could readily outsource to cloud services and shorten their time to market. Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft quickly became the most prominent names in this space, with over 34% of the top 100,000 websites running on AWS alone as of 2021.However, using a centralized cloud comes at a cost.When AWS services went offline for the third time in the same year (2021), businesses running on the provider suffered a combined loss running into billions.Besides server outages and downtimes, most centralized providers operate a form of ‘lock-in.’ This is a system in which an application running on a cloud service is adapted to run efficiently only on that infrastructure. While this means improved performance, it is harder for clients to transfer their applications to other cloud providers. They are “locked in,” even if they end up dissatisfied with rising costs in the long run.Well, until Flux.For the people, By Flux.Flux offers a decentralized cloud hosting network to deploy any hardened dockerized application globally. If it can fit in a docker container, it can run on Flux.The decentralized nature of Flux nodes, both in architecture and geography, ensures applications can remain online even if the nodes they are running on fail. The whole system is built to be automatically redundant with no single point of failure. DApps can run seamlessly on the Flux cloud infrastructure regardless of their original blockchain, thanks to the interoperability of FluxOS, the ecosystem operating software.Unlike the steep price tags many other cloud providers place on their services, Flux provides cloud solutions that can go as low as (0.22) Flux a month. Also, since we understand the need for businesses to be able to budget down in USD, Flux is now working on a fiat-payment ramp for users to pay directly in fiat (which is then automatically processed back to Flux in the backend).One Stop For All Your Needs.Want DropBox on steroids? <a href="https://jetpack2.app.runonflux.io/login.html" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Use FluxDrive</a>FluxDrive is a decentralized storage solution that allows you to store your data securely on the cloud for as long as you want!
