The story that Stefano shares in Outdated Infrastructure and the Cloud Illusion is a very sad one. I’ve seen this happen even at governments.
Current hypes aside, the NIST definition of Cloud Computing is actually under-hyped. A cloud should be on-demand, broad, elastic and measured. However, it can be Public, as well as Private. People keep forgetting that we can have Private Cloud deployments, and systems like FreeBSD, even Proxmox, have the ability to do that.
We can do better.
