I like the Business News Daily website(buinsessnewsdaily.com). There are a lof good insights when it comes to the state of technology. Click the link below and give yourself a refresher about the difference between Virtualization Vs. Cloud computing by Andreas Rivera, their staff writer, as published on July 25, 2018.

I assume the difference is now a little more understood than in the early days when it was hard to convince owners to virtualize their environments for fear of “losing control” of their data.
