For the last 15 years I've been in the ISP industry, when you draw a network diagram, you draw your own network, then draw links to an actual drawing of a cloud that represents the rest of the Internet.
Somewhere in the last few years, someone took that cloud in a drawing to mean where stuff goes to be stored on the Internet. |
