Nice video, but I ran into quite a pet peeve. I would like to point out I wholly disagree with Allen's definition of "cloud" about 15 mins in... that, as he says, "it's just somebody else's server... just means the server is hosted somewhere online over the internet".I know. He always does the "tee shirt definition" rather than the real one. It's because vet customers can't even begin to understand cloud and all the cloud vendors in the industry aren't using cloud but just using it as a proxy for hosted.
That's a horrible thing to tell customers and in no way whatsoever does anything for the customer except misinformes them and solidifies their misunderstanding of cloud and why it's used. That basically tells the client cloud is if you want something off prem and over the internet. That couldn't be any further from what it is and why it could be beneficial or not to them. Yall are straight up reinforcing myths by saying that.
