I have been reading up on “Cloud computing” on here and still not getting it. Basically I want to develop for the WP7 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff402531%28v=VS.92%29.aspx#AppPlat_Overview_Arch
Now it mentions everything as being in the “Cloud”. Is any server just a cloud? If i have a WCF service or wsdl on my server. Can I consider myself that “Cloud”? Or is there something that a server emits that checks whether or not it is a cloud?
I’m sure Microsoft would prefer for you to choose their version of ‘the Cloud’, which is Windows Azure, but yet, the cloud can mean WCF/WSDL on your server.
The only true ‘cloud’ out there is telecom – everything else is basically someone or some company’s implementation of services offered over the Internet.
