CxO Considerations
o Never assume that everyone has the same understanding, view, expectations or
even definition of cloud computing.
o Ignore the extreme polarizing views that can result from cloud computing myths
that can be contradictory.
o Avoid “one size fits all” and overly simplistic answers to complex situations – cloud
is not one thing.
o Maintain sight of business goals and align the potential benefits (and drawbacks)
of cloud computing with them.
Analysis
Cloud computing is uniquely susceptible to the perils of myths. It is all about the
capabilities delivered “…. as a service”, with a clear boundary between the provider of
the service and the consumer. From a consumer perspective, “in the cloud” means
where the magic happens, where the implementation details are supposed to be
hidden. So it should be no surprise that such an environment is rife with myths and
misunderstandings.
