What do we mean by “Cloud”?

• A cloud is a physical datacenter entity behind an API endpoint

• What does that really mean?• Amazon Web Services is not a cloud• EC2 is not a cloud• Eucalyptus, Cloud.com, OpenStack are not clouds• EC2 US-East, ‘my private cloud’… these are clouds• An availability zone is not a cloud (but it is part of one)

Think of a cloud as a “resource pool” accessed via an API

Multi-Cloud Hot HA ExampleMulti-Cloud looks similar to Multi-AZ… but there are additional problems to solve as some resources are not shared across clouds

You need DNS management or a global load balancer

You need to copy or replicate data yourself as EBS snapshots are specific to the source AZ. Getting the data out requires a slave sync or taking LVM snapshots and transferring the data.

Images for cloud servers are specific to the cloud/region.

Security is an issue as security groups are Region-specific.
