[There is NO CLOUD, just other people’s computers](https://fsfe.org/contribute/promopics/thereisnocloud-bluecolor-preview.png)

The answer is mostly “Marketing for C-level”. At the core of most Cloud services is still a server, but at the core this is just an extension of the whole “Managed infrastructure” movement, where companies decided they don’t want a dedicated team to run & optimize physical hardware but would rather just have to worry about the software running on it, trading some CAPEX for more OPEX.
