In my mind it is about access to a high performance network inside the data center and to the rest of the world as much or more that I can rent a machine there.

I'd also say there are a lot of cases where we only need intermittent service, like why pay for a whole server to sit there to serve 100 requests which could be handled by a simple Lambda function?

Emphasis on waveform concepts that make sense in the context of cloud computing and quantum computing give students a fork in the road to specialization for them to decide on their distant future.

Well I was involved with quantum computing back when you’d talk to the top people in the field and they would tell you they didn’t have any money for postdocs and I think the future for quantum computing is about as promising for a young person as it was then.
