> McCloud

That’s an awesome way to name their cloud computing stuff that fits the brand really well. Is this an official/semiofficial name?

Imagine McDonalds had invented AWS and called it McCloud.

With the tagline "There can be only one."

When you order a VPS they would’ve asked you then: “Do you want to supersize your order? For $1 extra you can have a whole bucket of RAM instead of a small cup of RAM”

This may be the first time I've actually wished HN had /. style moderation, so I could give you a +1 (Funny) vote.

Jokes are usually frowned upon here, but that's a good one. Have an upvote from me.

Quite a few providers have wizards that effectively boil down to this...

Imagine KFC had invented it and called it Kentucky Fried Cloud

Then later rebranded it as "KFC"... the C is for Chaos.

Kentucky Fried Chaos Engineering

It's no crazier than an online bookstore doing it :)

Imagine if Barnes and Noble had done it, and you could drive to one of their stores to quietly sip a drink and peruse the new machines they had provisioned recently.

All controllable from your Nook device as well.

It would definitely be networked with Happy Meal Ethernet.

There's an actual town called McCloud in California, next to Mt. Shasta.

All running on an old mainframe named Connor.

You should always substitute "clown" for "cloud" when talking about this stuff. Doubly so in this thread.

Hybrid clown setups are the best. All your data floats down here
