In the world of information technology, “cloud” has become jargon that is reminiscent of the word “plastics” in the iconic 1967 film, The Graduate. The “cloud” will solve all our problems, faster, cheaper, and more reliably. In reality, cloud is a heterogeneous concept and although it has promise we need to be careful not to oversell its capabilities. There are many variations in architecture, capabilities, and security.
