This guy is pretty dense to think that his argument is any different for any system. You control your SLA in traditional datacenters by using multiple locations or maybe tier 4 isolation. Now why would we need to worry about the same things everyone else does that isn't in the cloud? That's right: the cloud doesn't solve these problems. It's not a shining moment. It's just the fact that in these cases you'd have to be an idiot to think the cloud somehow elevates you from this problem. Now what cloud does give you can be valuable, though sometimes marginal in comparison to problems like having cascading failures outside your control because everyone happens to be sharing the same network or so on. I'm not knocking the cloud as much as I'm knocking people who pretend it's actually elevating computing away from traditional concerns.
