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 Example
Multi-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
Security is an issue as security
or a global load balancer
groups are Region-specific.
Images for cloud servers are
specific to the cloud/region.
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.
