The Politics of Cloud Computing

Andrea DiMaio of Gartner discusses in his blog two political issues likely to arise from moving to a cloud computing platform:

  1. Some lawmakers are more cautious about new projects to develop physical data centers when cloud computing would be cheaper
  2. Tax laws related to the same ala Microsoft’s decision to move Azure development outside Washington State

He thinks these arguments are similar to the ones that arose when open source software first bolted onto the IT scene.
