Good article.

I would love to see EOS take market share from the big boys but it still does not allow direct web servers as far as I know. Most consumers of public cloud need to host a web based front end to interact with the world wide wide and as far as i know (I hope I am wrong), EOS does not and cannot present TCP sockets directly. Even if it could it would need a full TCP/IP stack built in so web services could be offered.

For clients to use EOS and not run a node themselves, they would still need to host various firewalls, load balancers, web servers and then have dedicated nodes to reach out to EOS at the application / database tier. This would introduce a fair amount of latency that most commercial clients would not be able to accept.

I can’t see EOS seriously competing in the hosting game let until that happens. Do not get me wrong, I cannot wait for the day that is possible but I feel we are a long way from that becoming a reality as of now.

Sincerely hoping you reply with a “Ah but you forgot”
Message.

GOOOOOO EOS!!!!!!!!
