Is it really cloud if you built it yourself and run it on your own hardware in your own data center?

Certainly! I joke that I have my own private cloud: I have a k8s cluster running on 6 machines in my closet datacenter.

When you're one of the largest data center owners in the world, its pretty close? Its not like they're colo'ing? How do you define cloud?

Yes! the fact you are asking this belies your understanding of the cloud.

Can you elaborate on what your understanding of the term is?

Well then I guess everyone is actually already in the cloud. They just have varying levels of UI/UX.

Yes. A private cloud due to the tech stack at work.
