There is no cloud. There is somebody else's computer, in a building with better power, better cooling and better security than yours, and you are renting a slice of it.

That is the whole idea. Understanding it properly changes three decisions.

What you are actually buying. Not software. Access, for as long as you keep paying. Stop paying and the slice goes back.

Where your data physically sits. In a specific building, in a specific country, under that country's laws. This is why the question "where is the data hosted" appears in every serious contract and in Nigeria's new cloud rules.

What you are really outsourcing. Not just storage. You are outsourcing the generator, the air conditioning, the night guard and the person who replaces a failed disk at two in the morning. For most small organisations that trade is overwhelmingly worth making.

The word sounds weightless. The thing has an address.
