: "Cloud" isn't perhaps the most descriptive term, but it is the [[WP:COMMONNAME]] and so we're stuck with it. It's better than "Amazon Web Services" at least, where "web services" already have a very clear definition as a remote API, quite distinct from most of what they provide.
: As to "[W]hose details are not further inspected in a given context.", that refers to the cloud practice of buying "a yard of computing power" without any knowledge of ''how'' this is to be provided. Is the size of computing effort requested to be supplied by a thin virtualised slice of a very big server? Or a dedicated small blade server? You can have good details of what you need to know (where it appears in IP space, how much size or power it offers, QoS reliability metrics) but you don't get to see more than this. Physically where it is is hidden. The hardware architecture is hidden. For [[Amazon Glacier]], no-one (outside AWS) even knows what it's built out of.

I'd like to add the following:
Under "Similar concepts", add the following line about cloud sandboxes with a link to the "Sandbox (Cloud)" wiki page:
<br />
"[[Sandbox_(Cloud)|Cloud sandbox]]—A live, isolated computer environment in which a program, code or file can run without affecting the application in which it runs."
<br />
<br />
verifiable sources:<br />
http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/definition/sandbox<br />
http://www.networkcomputing.com/data-centers/devops-hybrid-cloud-sandboxes/413832201
<br />
<br />
Thank you for considering this request.
