We’re calling this the cloud, but the first iteration of “the cloud” started with storage enabling efficient, reliable access of data storage being decoupled from individual nodes This is exactly what I dislike about all this "look, shiny, new" kind of thing. No, networked storage that is decoupled from compute nodes is not a cloud thing. Sure the cloud does that too.
