The Insider’s blog on Amazon’s cloud mishap was certainly not intended to scare off would-be cloud customers but the episode most certainly scared some off those enterprises directly affected. The lessons learnt for this fledgeling sector should be invaluable especially to the relative new-comers in the form of CSPs offering IaaS, PaaS, CaaS and SaaS.

Amazon’s ignominious dumping of WikiLeaks as a customer almost went unnoticed, except by The Insider , and a few others, including the venerable Wall Street Journal.
