No surprise at all, but we are all continually depending on things we have no control over, hardware, software, people, networks, politics, disasters, health, etc. In the cloud you have the option of a private cloud, which is a lot of control with a better operations model. There are several clouds to select from, some are less wild west than Amazon, so you do have control in your selection criteria, your negotiated SLAs, your negotiated support plan, your architecture and deployment policies, your disaster and recovery and redundancy plans, and your strategies for moving to another cloud. So you have a very high degree of control if you think about it, act to take it, and make smart decisions. What you can't do is just move an enterprise wholesale into the cloud, but that's a good thing.
