Cloud computing is a multi-billion dollar industry and it underpins many of the largest internet companies out there. I fail to see how that's hype.

People are made to believe that cloud is not a server or servers. It's an enhancement sure, but not something completely new or different. > it underpins many of the largest internet companies out there And most of them would be fine without it. Rent some racks. Run some servers. That's exactly why it's hype.

- bmink 1y agoThe hype is that “cloud” is and makes everything magically better / easier / more secure / more efficient etc. Many companies jumped head first into large-scale cloud migrations and buildouts without any thought about where and how “cloud” makes sense, what the risks / downsides / true costs are, etc. Just like they are doing now with AI.
