In 2012, I wrote a post for InfoWorld entitled "Perfect fit: The cloud and SOA -- but don't call it that." Although service-oriented architecture is indeed systemic to most private and public clouds, the majority of people who stand up clouds don't know what SOA is or how it can be applied. As a result, here we are two years after I wrote that post, and the same issues keep coming up.
Organizations deploying clouds are doing so by standing up many APIs, or services. They use services to form and re-form business solutions. The solutions are inherently changeable, which places volatility into a configurable domain. That's SOA, folks. But few people actually understand SOA, so they're not getting the advantages they should be from their cloud efforts.
