Specifically, assuming that I have my own hardware to set the whole thing up, what is the difference between having a server (possibly virtualized), and having a server "on the cloud"? And what is the main benefit of the latter over the former? If the server is running on your own hardware, it runs on your own hardware. How does the idea of a "cloud" come about then, and why is it any better than ordinary virtualized set of servers? Best, :-) Marko -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
