What do we know so far about cloud computing? Well, first the hype-cycle slowed down and we started realizing that hybrid cloud (as a combination of public and private resources) was a relatively sensible idea, i.e., from both an expenditure (public) and security (private) perspective. Now we know which data and processing tasks to put where – and when, right?
Not exactly, it’s still not all quite crystal clear in cloud is it?
The nomenclature, taxonomy and classification of the cloud are all part of the problem. At the risk of introducing a new term, it may be useful to talk about the workload cloud.
