A properly-designed cloud computing solution is one where the virtual
machines being hosted in the cloud can be fully encrypted so that the
hosting provider cannot (feasibly) glean any information from them.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (like Fedora) supports full-disk encryption
with LUKS, making it a perfect solution for a cloud-based system.

So with an encrypted system, all you're renting is time on someone
else's host, while all of your data remains private to you. Sounds good
to me!
