| Cloud must be the most uselessly overloaded term ever. I have no way of knowing what you are actually talking about when you use it. |

| Cloud always means "somebody else's computer". |

| ▲ | apelapan a day ago | parent [-] | | My experience is that when people say "private cloud", they usually mean a VPC or similar that is located on somebody else's computer. I'm sure some people use the term correctly, at least sometimes! |

| ▲ | Sammi 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | Even that isn't generic and broad enough. I've noticed so many people mean SaaS when they say cloud. That isn't even a hardware or server or infrastructure meaning. It's referring to a whole cohesive IT product that you subscribe to. Actually I'd say "cloud" says more about the business model than it says about the actual product. |

| In there early days of cloud there were actual definitions created for it. Nobody seems to remember or care any more. |
