These vulnerabilities have a lot less to do with cloud providers, and a lot to do with networked computers in general. It's not unreasonable to expect this exploit to be done via web browser, as was demonstrated with prior speculative execution exploits. Fundamentally, the only reason we need speculative execution is that we haven't updated our software to be more concurrent (reflecting how chips have kept pace with Moore's law for 15+ years), we still program as if we're in the 1970s. This may turn into a great opportunity to force a rebuild a lot of ancient code.
