what does "a cloud" mean in this context ?
to me, a cloud is a set of homogenous servers running distributed
applications. classic cloud is google. the term has been degraded
to also refer to a stack of servers running a virtualization platform
such that the individual VMs don't care what hardware they are assigned
to, classic example of a VM cloud is Amazon AWS.
I don't understand how ANYTHING you do on a single server could be
called 'cloudy'.
