All,

The question I would ask is how many Cloud services do we think there will
be long run.
Then ask, how many times the same methods/commands will need to be
re-invented:  Create, Update, Delete?

Also, ask yourself, if you have to do multiple of those cloud services in
synchronized fashion, would a tool designed for just one of those answer
the mail?
Can we abstract out the common elements and cover and integrate component
parts?

Cloud seems to be in the state the telephone company found itself 100 years
ago.  Everything works fine so long as you do it Edison's way, or Tesla's
or whomever.  We had to go through a monopoly state before figuring out how
to standardize.  Looking to skip the monopoly phase this time around.

Mike
