> There is a reasonableness standard that exists in both contexts and applies to both in the same way. It applies to both in the same way in that there exists a definition of reasonable and exceeding it would be bad. But those definitions of reasonable are going to be completely different because the environments are completely different. I guess my point is that invoking the UNIX philosophy as such brings to mind mostly tools whose scope would frankly be far too small to justify deploying a whole cloud service. It would be better to treat deployable units on the cloud as something new, rather than trying to treat them as if they were a logical extension of single-node UNIX executables.
