Cloud Computing has been the talk of the town for a while. Hence there are bound to be people that have praises for it and others who have complaints. Along with the positives and negatives also come opinions which soon take a form of myths and cloud has many surrounding it. In this article I would be discussing top 10 myths regarding cloud computing. These are the myths we would be focusing on:
- Cloud Is One Size Fits All
- Virtualization And Cloud Are Same
- Cloud Will Lock You In
- Cloud Costs Jobs
- You Need More Than One Cloud
- Cloud Is For The Tech Companies
- Cloud Harms Environment
- Everything Works Better In The Cloud
- Cloud Isn’t Secure
- It Is Always Cheaper To Run In The Cloud
Cloud Is ‘One Size Fits All’
- Different deployment models
- Service models
- Operating models for a cloud solution
That means if you need a Cloud solution you will get one but one solution need not fit other problems.

Cloud Would Lock You In
- Deployment
- Integration
- Industry Standards
All these verticals are handled fairly smooth by cloud vendors with a lot of options to choose from. So better planning would definitely ensure you don’t get locked in.
Cloud Costs Jobs: Top 10 Myths Regarding Cloud Computing
You Need More Than One Cloud: Top 10 Myths Regarding Cloud Computing
The business that wish to, or are already harnessing Cloud Vendor services may have varying business needs and preferences. Also the vendors the companies rely on are something companies don’t want to let go off. This scenario might force certain companies to choose a different vendor altogether for different sections of their business.
The above claim though true, does not mean it is mandatory to opt for more than one cloud vendors parallely. Vendors these days provide a wide array of services to meet most of you needs under one roof.
Cloud Is For The Tech Companies
Cloud is pre-dominantly used by Tech companies, this claim is understandable because Tech companies do prefer Cloud platforms to host their data and applications. However to claim that it can’t be used by or it is not meant for non tech companies is like shooting arrows at sky. Cloud offers hundred plus services and these services cater needs of different markets. So companies that have data and need someone to manage it, Cloud is open for all such companies
Cloud Harms Environment
Everything Works Better In The Cloud
Cloud Isn’t Secure
Cloud security has always been a topic of debate. There are a lot of reasons people fear data on Cloud may not be safe. Two of those are:
Fear of sharing same data center space
Fear of data loss due to outage
However Cloud ensures that all these fears are taken care of. Clouds these days provision shared security models where both, the vendors and customers have a say in the security compliance. Also introduction of private cloud means you may not always have to share your cloud space.
It Is Always Cheaper To Run In The Cloud
People also believe that Cloud is always cheaper. When used sensibly Cloud Computing will let you reap benefits at an affordable price. However it may not be the case always. Pay As You Go Model is fairly affordable for smaller and short term applications. On the longer run it may not be true for application that require a lot of resources.
That is why it is very important to have architects help you optimize the cost for your infrastructure before you move to Cloud.
So this is it guys, these are the top 10 myths regarding cloud computing according to me. I hope you found this article informative.
