For platform and infrastructure engineering leads: vendor lock-in and unpredictable egress fees get treated as a fixed cost of doing business. They are a choice.
Open in name, or open you can read.
A closed-door discussion for infrastructure leaders on what changes when every component of the control plane is public, and where self-hosting stops making sense.
Teams accept vendor lock-in and unpredictable egress fees as the cost of using a major cloud provider, treating it as fixed rather than chosen. Ubicloud runs PostgreSQL three times more cost-efficiently than equivalent hyperscaler offerings, with egress roughly thirty times cheaper.
Every component managing GPU allocation, NVSwitch partitioning and VM provisioning is public and inspectable, not just described as open. ClickHouse Cloud integrated Ubicloud Postgres for transactional workloads in mid-2026.
What we'll be exploring.
Talking points on the table include, but are not limited to:
Lock-in as an accepted cost
Why egress and portability rarely make it into the business case until it is too late.
What open actually means
Reading the control plane itself, rather than taking the word for it.
The cost numbers
Three times on Postgres and thirty times on egress, and where those savings come from.
Multi-tenant GPU virtualization
Work on NVIDIA HGX B200, and what it opens up for AI workloads.
APAC Series. Six cities.
We are big fans of the cloud. We have also been in it long enough to see where there are ways to do it better, or simpler.

Brought to you by Ubicloud and Innovatus Media.
Ubicloud is an open-source cloud platform that runs on bare-metal infrastructure, giving teams elastic compute, storage, managed Postgres, and AI inference at a fraction of hyperscaler cost, with full transparency into how it works.
