The key is to have everything specified in terms of an API, and to program against that API and only that API. A good API is far more valuable than any implementation. It can make it a lot easier, /provided/ the architecture and implementation are /very/ carefully thought through. The poster child proof-of-concepts are the telecom system and Amazon Web Services. None of which changes the concept that cloud processing is the triumphant re-invention of timesharing systems, and that it means your data and processing is done on machines owned by another company. I remember the relief people felt when IBM PCs arrived, because then they were no longer held hostage by the timesharing bureaux.
