I'm growing to understand "the cloud" not as AWS/Rackspace/Heroku/whatever, but as a mindset where:
1) you're not tied to hardware
2) your application scales horizontally
3) you can easily (and dynamically) add (computational) resources as needed, preferrably managed by your application.
4) you build fault tolerance and redundancy into your application
This article basically takes the approach that "the cloud" is AWS.
