NAMING IS IMPORTANT, BUT SOMETIMES NEW CONCEPTS ARE HARD TO NAME

When something new comes along, do we spend more time talking about the name or the value of the new concept? Does anyone remember “Serverless”?

WHAT IS SUPERCLOUD, AND WHY MIGHT IT BE IMPORTANT

• Multi-Cloud is a real thing (for various reasons), but Multi-Cloud-App is an anomaly.
• Maybe it’s a SuperApp, instead of a SuperCloud
• Clouds, Politics, Insurance
• What happens if applications “span” availability zones? Span regions? 
• Can SuperCloud be a thing for the application, or mostly the data?
• The cost of moving data makes these types of applications very difficult to build and manage.
• Load-balancing, DNS, CDNs
