Re: Clouds are unsafe
"Also, quite obviously to anyone who works using the cloud and inhouse, quite expensive."
Not saying that you can't get ripped off by some provider, but the economics and technology are all on the side of the hyper-scale cloud providers. More volume is less costly per unit than less volume. The hyper scalers can also invest in technologies which are beyond the skills, frankly, of the average or even the large traditional business... as they are just not in the business of building technology. Everyone gets this instantly when it comes to WAN/internet service... way less costly to use a carrier than drag fiber for thousands of miles, and you don't need to maintain it (more volume vs less volume). AT&T can invest in state of the art network tech which just wouldn't be economical for a non-carrier. But when it comes to compute instead of network... that's totally different to people, for some reason.
