Having choices is good! I've always felt the data is more important than everything else.. make sure you have the keys to it at all times! The hype IS a bit much... don't get me started on security :) --Jason Agree – 100%

Arguing for the defense, m0j0 believes the Cloud is hype overload. [...] [...] In one corner are bloggers like Mark Mayo, who predict Cloud Domination,and suggest how sysadmins can prepare.

Or even the impact of power consumption a shift to major clouds would bring. To say that the cloud world has everything taken cared of to a 'T' would definitely be the hype.

I had equal thoughts before, cloud computing won't be the solution for everything. It surely has its market, and it surely makes sense in some situations, but why would all websites need to scale infinitely? How many websites ever needed to scale fast (and failed)? As your application/website grows the codebase needs to change, which is no problem. But if you're using a cloud, do you need to change your codebase? I guess you'll run into cloud limitations earlier or later, and these will probably be harder to circumvent then the known scaling problems... First, I really like your post.
