Hi, I'm Natsuki Ogino, an engineer running ML services for a Japanese company called RADIUS5. With Bento Cloud's Bring Your Own Cloud option, is it possible to have a combined on-premise and cloud operation? Specifically, we are thinking of using Amazon EKS hybrid nodes to handle the always-on base workloads on-prem at a low cost, and then auto-scale at high speed to meet spiky demand at a slightly higher cost to reduce latency increase. If this operation could be achieved, it would be very attractive. What are some best practices for combined on-premise and cloud operations?

Hi Natsuki - I'm with the Bento team. We can set up a hybrid cloud/on-prem operation for you. We would need to have a deeper discussion to understand how we could design the setup. I can find some time for us to meet. Are you based in Japan as well?

Thanks for the fast reply, it is 25:00 in Japan and I would have been happy if I had received a reply at the start of Monday. I would be happy to have a discussion, I can prepare to join our slack, set up a meeting, etc. Would you mind if I send another mention on Monday, thanks.

Hi Natsuki - sorry for the late follow up here. I have been traveling for a conference. Can you meet any time this week?
