>>The cloud is a resilient service hosted typically in 2 or more geographically spaced resilient data centres that you have no control over.

Psst: You might want to check your dictionaries.

I could pull up more references but hopefully you get the point. "Using the cloud" just means that you've opened a browser and pulled up google, or the register. The term "the cloud" is basically used to define any service delivered over the internet.

But that gets away from my original statement. Which is that it doesn't matter if they know what the cloud is or even how their services are delivered. What matters is whether those services are fit for purpose and whether they are the rights ones to get the job done.
