It often seems like the omnipresence of "the cloud" is rivaled only by uncertainty and confusion about what exactly the cloud is and what it does. For many years, it was a buzzword that a lot of people took to mean a better internet, or just a physical repository of information somewhere. But gradually, more organizations and people have come to recognize the cloud and cloud computing for what it is: an opportunity to offload all the physical hardware that goes into storing data and running programs and applications that only charges you for what you use.
