I’ve come to think of cloud computing as a system of control. The reference to the line in “The Matrix” aside, there is a reason to discuss the role of systems and the notion of control in emerging IT infrastructure and services. That reason is to motivate the development of IT equipment capable of supporting a new generation of application deployment. To do that, we must first revisit some design assumptions of our common IT building blocks and create some changes in the way we think and deploy IT today.
