And I think there is a lot to be said for motions where it's like, no, no, Tailscale can help you provision instances.
Maybe we hook into other cloud providers or maybe we get to the point where
I don't know, people could start sharing their infrastructure and to compute with other people.
We can make it possible for people to, I don't know, create their own cloud providers or some kind of democratic cloud system using tail-scale infrastructure.
But I wanted to experiment with the idea of, well, what would it take or...
how much would customers resist a, like, I just want to launch an instance into my network.
Just make it easy for me.
Just give me one click, drop a node in.
Because we can't just simply start injecting nodes into customers' networks.
People have to authenticate them in.
So...
There's a lot of guarantees that we already have in terms of our ability or the lack thereof to take over customers' networks.
And I think a lot of customers just want the speed and convenience just to try something out.
So we made a decision.
It's working out really well so far.
I've been actually surprised with how many people
have just been willing to say like, yes, spin it up, add it to my network.
You know, at some point we might want to have a conversation about self-hosting, but for the purposes of experimenting with it now, like this is totally fine because we trust you guys.
Are you planning to?
Yeah, we're planning to.
