I think it's fair to suggest that this post was primarily addressing the IaaS elements as a major stumbling block. /Hoff @Gilad

Do you also have a view on which sub-components of clouds (e.g. AWS) these people are using? Is it compute, blob storage, NoSql or DB? And to what degree? Thanks. Interesting post.

Large enterprise acceptance of any new technology is about one thing; how does this help my business? <i> Yes, Mr. Cirrus, my mainframe can be quite expensive but to convert to your ElastaCloud 3000, it will cost me eleventy jillion to rearchitect my workloads, expose me to untold risks, & freeze all app dev that actually contributes to gaining customers. I'm not seeing the value. How about if I get the ElastaCloud 350 and put my test environments on it? That will save me some money at least.</i> Hey, we’ve never even met and you nailed it! ;-} Legacy = inertia Many successes touted as cloud are just relabeled legacy (grid, ASP, virtualization etc.) or are small projects, off to the side of the real business of IT.

Startups are the early adopters of cloud because they have little to zero legacy holding them back. Animoto – well said, William.
