Hello, this article is meant to highlight what makes cloud giants so powerful and why these are not so open ecosystems. The startup that publish this develop an open source personal cloud in Node.js. You can develop and install your own apps on it. Very early stage but quite promising!

The intro prepares a conclusion 'power is in the hand of the data centers, let's move that to the users.'

Simply restating that 'the power could be in the hand of the users' without evidence to back it up (or pros/cons) leaves us hanging.

IE: Intro: Most users choose Amazon for cloud purposes, but there are many more options.

Conclusion: Options are available to users such as x, y, and z. X provides a and b over Amazon, but lacks c and d. Y and Z are both fairly new to the market, but are showing friction in the products P1 and P2.

Rather than just restating: 'there are many more options.'

That's a good feedback thank you! And good food for thought for a future article. This one was more intended as an informative endeavor in some cloud giant's nasty practices.
