Busting the nine myths of cloud computing

This article examine nine "myths" about cloud computing. The myths are somewhat contrived, but are truely valid.

The thing I like about this article is that it related to what customers get, rather than what makes up the cloud.

Here are the nine myths:

  1. There's one single "cloud"
  2. All you need is your credit card
  3. The cloud reduces your workload in the long run
  4. You can seamlessly blend your private "cloud" with public cloud providers
  5. You won't ever be able to seamlessly blend your public and private clouds
  6. Cloud computing always saves you money
  7. A cloud provider can guarantee security
  8. If you're running VMs, you're doing cloud computing
  9. Cloud computing is about technology
