[TriLUG] Fwd: Why Limoncelli avoid using the term "Cloud Computing" ?

[Igor Partola]

To me "Cloud Computing" means mostly PaaS:

   - Billing by the hour or by the resource
   - API to provision new instances
   - Some sort of a virtualization technology that allows for elastic
   instances (e.g.: I can double the RAM of a virtual node through the API)

There is also the use of it as "stored in the cloud", by which I think is
what most people use (tech and non-tech folk). This is the use that will be
with us for a long time since everybody is talking about it.
