If they are virtual, you don't own them. You own an 'I promise really really hard' of some vendor at best.

I own the virtual thing. It's my data. Yes, the vendor could illegaly tamper with it. Or legaly stop providing me service. But the beauty of the cloud is that it would not affect me. Because I can replace any vendor with a click.

I think you're confusing the buzzword "cloud" for "rented virtual server".

None of which has anything at all to do with installing a fucking tool chain.
