What you said adds pretty much no value to the conversation, I didn't mod you down, and I didn't look to see precisely what field you work in, just the same, cloud is pretty much an obfuscation for on-demand co-location and shared-hosting services.

While you may not like the trend, and some providers have better options than others, and you may require some operations over others... but very few businesses can afford to manage multi-site infrastructure that can dynamically scale. Most are probably served just fine with rented servers, traditional colocation, or don't even need more than one VPS...

That doesn't make the technology bad, and only makes you seem ignorant in your prior statement.



I admit I could have explained why.

I'll go into it later, but for the most part I consider the cloud a really bad idea. I also regard most cloud companies as "buzzword-enabled" so as to attract investors.

My gripe with scrum and agile is not so much with the methodologies, but with companies that think they have a methodology when in reality they have a bureaucracy.
