Only if you're talking IaaS, and that's only a very vague and not necessarily accurate description of that too. When you start describing what cloud is you've also got to go into the realms of private clouds (using, for example, openstack), on your own infrastructure in your own datacenter. That's before you even start delving into PaaS, SaaS "clouds" etc.On Thu, 07 Jun 2012 11:51:51 -0700, Owen DeLong said:This is a hard problem to solve. Not the least of the difficulties is the fact that if you ask 50 engineers to define "Cloud", you will get at least 100 definitions many of which are incompatible to the point of mutually exclusive."cloud" == "you rented in a colo, but have no clue where".
"Cloud" is a marketing term, not an engineering one. Paul
