Why is it called cloud computing when we still pay for virtual machines 24x365? The billing is hourly compared to hosting providers, but most cloud compute instances still spin 24x7.
When do we start paying for the actual amount of CPU, memory and IO/storage we consume? It's what Sun was promising in 2002 with Grid Computing. Yet it's 2019 and we still use virtualisation, with all resources (processor, memory, storage) reserved. Where is the innovation we were promised?
