No, he’s not complaining about the marketing. He’s basically saying cloud computing is nothing, just a redefinition of existing computing. He’s not complaining about the marketing. He’s saying that cloud computing is only marketing. Clearly he was wrong.
- belfalas 3y agoWas he clearly wrong though? I listened through the whole clip and it seems like he was spot on to me. Steve Jobs made similar comments about cloud in the 90s - it’s really just mainframe 2.0.
- dragonwriter 3y agoNo, cloud at root is dynamic on-demand provisioning. A lot of times SaaS built on top of cloud was (and is) marketed as cloud, without meaningfully offering dynamic on-demand provisioning to the customer, which blurs it a bit, but cloud had a distinct definition that was neither just SaaS or “mainframe 2.0” in any sense where using the term dismissively makes any sense.
- nl 3y agoHe's wrong like those "There is no cloud, it's just someone else's computer" t-shirts are wrong. IE: not wrong, but too literal and short sighted.
- dragonwriter 3y ago> He's wrong like those "There is no cloud, it's just someone else's computer" t-shirts are wrong. > IE: not wrong Private cloud is cloud, and its not someone else’s computer, so, “not wrong” is not not wrong.
