## Zero OS as a generator for Compute, Storage, Network capacity
## Capacity Generator
### Compute (uses CU)
Zero OS can be conceived as a generator for compute, storage, network capacity.
### Compute Features
- ZKube
- kubernetes deployment

A 3Node is a Zero-OS enabled computer which is hosted with any of the Cloud Providers.
### There are 4 storage mechanisms which can be used to store your data:
