- lr 17y agoFor sure. Talk about "clouding" the subject. The cloud this article is talking about is not the "cloud" of today, it is the "cloud" of yesterday, i.e., this has been a problem since the first web app went online for commercial use well over a decade ago. Today's cloud, to me, is about software and service providers using cloud resources, and so far those are the same resources that were used in-house (Linux, MySQL, etc., etc.). There is little danger in getting data out of one MySQL DB and importing it into another at another cloud provider.
