The IT industry discourages users from making these distinctions. That's what the buzzword &ldquo;cloud computing&rdquo; is for. This term is so nebulous that it could refer to almost any use of the Internet. It includes SaaSS as well as many other network usage practices. In any given context, an author who writes &ldquo;cloud&rdquo; (if a technical person) probably has a specific meaning in mind, but usually does not explain that in other articles the term has other specific meanings. The term leads people to generalize about practices they ought to consider individually.
