In this episode of Destination Linux, we interview the founder of Kove, Dr. John Overton, about the journey from co-inventing distributed hash tables that powered the early cloud to his latest breakthrough Kove:SDM, a Software Defined Memory system that literally lets servers download more RAM. Overton dives into the open source ethos that shaped his career. If you’re passionate about Linux, composable infrastructure, or tech that bends the laws of physics, this conversation is a must watch.
