The only cloud I use is on my home network, and I run the servers

Thought: I don't really care because I use clouds as few as I can. The clouds I use... there is other people taking responsibility for its results.
Call me paranoid if you want.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

All big companies have a powerful infrastructure. The software layer is much much important.

to know as much as possible about a third-party vendor/service, if you are going to use them for mission critical "stuff".

As in most things, the best answer is: It depends.
If I only need it for dumb/simple/non-critical/... missions, I don't care. Anything can handle those and usually the cheapest, the better.
I just tend to make sure that I can automate the provisioning and deployments so that they are easy to recreate somewhere else if needed.
On the other hand, if there are any specific needs that require more horsepower, then some new requirements need to be addressed.
Bottom line, automation for me is much more important than the upfront capabilities of the cloud service provider. If you have your provisioning process properly automated, moving to another provider is fairly easy.

Good job too, if you did it would turn the cloud to rain.
