Cloud, as you said, is mainframe 2.0 decentralized only so far as the location of bytes on a single physical cpu in a single socket, somewhere in its virtualization layer.

Yes, there's redundancy, but that's still a vulnerable, single, physical location. Where there is redundancy, that's clustered in the location of other redundancies.

Makes it very problematic from a "continuity" standpoint, but so long as this "reduces cost" ie... let's lease this hardware... someone always pays the price of this corporate cost cutting.

The irony being, other options are far cheaper, more robust, and better scalable. It'll take time, but it will wake. :)
