I'm looking into adding a cloud to one of my servers.
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'.
