There are already many clouds

amywohl 16th May 2009

And each of them has their own specifications and optimizations. An IBM cloud (public), for instance, can offer a different level of reliability and support (because it is designed and priced that way) than a Google cloud. One pays one's money and makes one's choice (probably in the reverse order). Clouds are a good answer for many companies (including large enterprises) for some things, not everything. Reviewing your applications and identifying and prioritizing cloud-appropriate applications will be a new skill. we will probably not rewrite old applications to run on the cloud (but we could componentize them into services), but hopefully we will write new applications only as services.
