Hey everyone. Thanks so much for joining today. Before we go further, a little bit about me, I'm Dennis Thema de Ulu. Welcome to my talk. So let's start. I'm here to talk about something that honestly keep me awake at night and know it's not DI in products and code at 3M that also held horrific. But what keeps me up thinking that is cloud build. Especially what's going to happen to our cloud wells when quantum computing become mainstream. So let me start with a story that happened to me just last month that made me realize we are heading for a perfect storm of confusions. So picture this one day I hear about a person panicking. She looking at her AWS bill and it says around $10,000 for last month. Her startup entirely was, that is $2,000 only. So what happened, one tiny mistake in her auto scaling configurations. Instead of scaling up to five servers, it is scaled up to 50 and instead of running for two hours, it runs for three days before anyone noticed. So we were sitting there looking at this bill, trying to figure out what net gateway's processing charge means. And why is he paying for CloudWatch logs data and what the hell is load balance of capacity unit? And that's when it hit me. If we can't predict cost with the regular computer technologies we have been using for decades, then what's going to happen when quantum computers enters the picture? Let's be honest here, nobody, and I mean nobody actually understand their bills. You got computer charges, storage charges, network egress charges, network ingress charges and wait. They charge you for data incoming to, then there are, there's also cross availability zone transfer and API gateway request. Lambda called start penalties database, lead capacity unit, and so on. I once up lined with I items for ideal load balancer time. And my load balancer was not working hard enough, and they decided to charge me for its lack of motivation. But here's the real problem. Try this experiment right now. Open your cloud dashboard and tell me exactly not approximately, not around $800, exactly what you'll spend. Next month you can't do it. Nobody can. And this is what with technology, we understand pretty well. We know how CCP works, we know how memory works. We have been optimizing these things for decades now. Amazing. Adding quantum to this equation, here's a review of what's coming and why you should care. Even if you never plan to touch a quantum computer, your quantum algorithm might solve your problem in 30 seconds or even in 30 hours. There literally no way to no be. It might do, it might re, yeah, it might need to run once to get the perfect answer. It might need to run 500 times, become quantum mechanics, decide to be difficult that day. It might use basic quantum operations that cost little bit, or it might need expensive quantum errors. Correction that cost a hundred times more. And though all this, the cloud providers is going to. For every second of processing time, for every detra, for every error correction, and for every failed attempts. The same quantum job could cost you $500 to $5,000, and you wouldn't know which until you get the bill. But before we talk about solutions, let me explain exactly what quantum computing is and why it create the billing nightmare. Alright, let's get technical, but I promise to keep it simple. Regular computers, your computers, your phones, your server running, your applications. They, you, they all use bits, a bits either zero over, it's like a switch either on or either off. Simple, predictable, reliable, as you can see in this slide. Quantum computers use bits or qubits. Now here where it get is interesting. A qubit can be zero or one and zero and one at the same time. Think of it like a coin. When you flip a coin, it is spinning in the air. Is it add or tail? It actually both until it lengths and you see the result. A qubit is like a coin. That can stay spinning until you need to know the answer. So this is called super position being in multiple state simultaneously. Now, why does it matter? Because while the qubits is in super position, it can explore multiple solution to your problem at the same time. It's like having thousands of computer working in parallel, but they are all same quantum computer. So let me show you this with a example. Imagine you are trying to find a exit in a maze, and the classical computer approach this systematically, it'll try path one, which leads to dead end. It will try part two, which also lead to dead end, and he will try also part three, part four, and so on. And until he found the exit. This. This takes proportional to the number of paths needs to check, and at the same time, the quantum computer can be much smarter. It puts itself in, put super position and explore all paths simultaneously. Quantum State explore Path one and Path two and part three and so on at the same time in parallel, then it collab collapse to the solution. For certain type of problems. This give you exponential speed up problem that would take classical computer Millions of years can be solved in hours. But here's the catch, and this is where our billing nightmares begin. Quantum computers are fragile. Before we get to the fragility problem, let me explain one more quantum concept. That make everything even more powerful and more unpredictable, that is quantum entanglement. When two qubits become entangled, they become connected in a way that defies every day experiences. If you measure one qubit and find it zero and other, qubit instantly become one, even if they are opposite side of the galaxy and. This select quantum computers coordinate multiple calculations in way that would be impossible with classical computers. It's like having a team of workers who can telepathically communicate and coordinate their accent perfectly. So now let me show you what a Quantum Cloud bill actually look like because this is already happening. Here. You can see in this slide a real example of what you might see. As you can see, it is too messy and can't understand too easily, so your algorithm work perfect for perfectly. It solved your problem, but the universe decide to be expensive that day. This is why current Quantum Service, quantum Cloud Services from IBM. Google, Amazon and Microsoft are struggling with pricing model. They're trying to meter the UNM and unpredic the unpredictable, predictable insult classic cloud bill, like known CP, known memory, known storage, which is leads to predictable cost. But whereas you can see compute, quantum cloud bill, billing, like unknown time, unknown errors, unknown Ries, and don't know about a cost at the end. So this is where the story get interesting because there is a company that looked at this whole mess and said, what if we just don't meet cumulus? Instead of trying to measure every quantum operations and charge you for ease things, they took completely different approach. As you can see in this slide, there is a comparison between traditional cloud approach and a seamless approach. As you can see, traditional approach, which is step one, measure everything and then complex calculations, and that at the end surprises bill. Whereas the seamless approach, there is a pretty defined fixed resources, fixed prices, and then you will sleep well at night. So Cumulus believes in providing high performing fixed cost computing power instead of selling every single service and metering the users. You can get started with S Cloud platform for less than just. Less than just a hundred dollars monthly, no upfront cost, no long-term commitments and no surprise bills. It's just like Netflix for cloud computing and you pay for monthly fee. You get access to the platform and you can use it without borrow about the meter running. You can get started with Ulus Cloud platform for less than just a hundred dollar monthly. No upfront cost, no long-term commitments, no surprise bills. Just like Netflix for cloud computing, you pay for monthly fee and you get the access to the platform and you can use it without worrying about the meter running. Now let me explain why this approach is brilliant for quantum computing because ulus is built on open stack, which is open source. This means no vendor lock in, and you are not trapped in anyone's quantum ecosystem. Let me share a real example of why this matters. I talked to a startup that moved from AWS to Ulus here. What changed before AWS monthly will somewhere between eight $800 to the $4,000. The time is spent off on cost optimization is 20 20% of engineering time and you can see sleep quality. Ability to experiment is in the limit and innovation rate is slow. And on the other end you can see at q plus monthly bill is now too low, too less, and time is spent on cost optimization is zero. You can see sleep quality, actually good, and ability to experiment unlimited within the resources. And other last one is innovation date, which is three x faster than the AWS. So the founder told me something that I'll never forget. The best fight is not even the cost saving. It being able to actually build things instead of consistently optimizing for AWS pricing. When quantum computing become mainstream, this difference will be even more dramatic. Company using traditional paper quantum operations model is will spend more time on time optimizing for cost, then optimizing for the result. Company which is using fixed due pricing model will be free to experiment, innovate, and actually solves problem. Look, quantum computing is going to reconstruct how we solve problems, but it doesn't, hand doesn't have to be transformed your budget in the wrong direction. The future belongs to the platform that understand quantum unpredictability and abstract it away from developers. So fixed pricing. It is not just better cloud economics, it's the foundation that make quantum innovation possible without quantum sized financial risk. So you can check ulus on the ulus.io and see what transparent and fixed pricing actually means in practice. So the future is quantum and your cloud bill doesn't have to be quantum chaotic. So thank you everyone. As this is a prerecorded talk, you can ask me any questions or anything related to tech or cloud, anything. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have just ping me up on the LinkedIn or tutor. And these are my handles you can see in this light, so you can follow me also there. So thank you everyone. Bye bye.
