This paper aims to clarify the definition of cloud computing, identify the significance of cloud computing and scrutinize its obstacles. Unlike what many influential people think of the cloud (e.g.: Richard Stallman thinks that this is just a marketing scheme; Larry Ellison who basically states that the definition is unclear. ), this paper clarifies it, stating that it refers to both the application delivered as services over the internet and the hardware and systems software in the datacenters that provide those services.
I believe that this problem (ie: cloud computing, itself) is real, since there are a lot of advantages brought about by it. It gives the illusion of infinite computing resources, the elmination of an up-front commitment by cloud users and the ability to pay for use of computing resources. This is really advantageous because new startups will not experience the problem of underprovisioning or overprovisioning of servers which is going to be very detrimental to its future.
This paper also clearly identifies the top 10 problems and its possible solutions that are going to be faced by organizations that are involved in cloud computing. I think this is one of the most interesting part in the papers since the obstacles make sense. For example, availability of service. It's not unreasonable that we have multiple servers down and that will impact the users experience a lot
