I am starting to get auditor questions like "Do you use any cloud computing". And this is super frustrating. These are mostly banks asking if we use offsite stuff like AWS or Azure mostly I think. But I need to be like "We manage code in BitBucket?" because what even is The Cloud.

When legal and financial teams adopt your buzzwords without defining them then you've made it as an industry I guess?

@silverwizard For me the cloud is « other people’s computers ». It includes pretty much any third-party online service.

@Hypolite Petovan Oh 100%, it means that having a backup might be cloud, a notes sharing app, literally anything!

So "what is your cloud provider" is a bad question

I'd probably be tempted to reply «of course not! I only trust infrastructure I configured myself». 🤣

@Lapo Luchini Is this because you don't trust yourself and therefore trust the Stack Ranked Hellhole with your infra more? Or because you are lucky enough to actually use real computers?
