The cloud is someone else’s computer and an apartment is just someone else’s property.
How far do we take this philosophy?

Lots of people don't like landlords :)
Cloud is just someone else's computer. These systems aren't special. Yes they are impressively engineered to deal with the scale they deal with, but when systems are smaller, they can get a lot simpler. I think as an industry we have conflated distributed systems with really hard engineering problems, when it really matter at what level of abstraction the distribution happens when it comes to down stream complexity.
