i said SMB because SMB doesn't need cloud. if you have enough users to warrant cloud you're no longer S or M. I was actually going to start to concede that you might be right, maybe i should have said small-time users or something more eloquent; but no, i'll stand behind what i said. Dissuade all SMB and small users as much as possible. then there's 0% chance they get a surprise cloud bill. I solved the problem, yay.

as i mentioned elsewhere i'm intimately familiar with pretty much every intimate detail of "cloud" from hardware, software, network, cooling, and ops (i wouldn't call me a dev. I don't think anyone else would or should, either.) I've bootstrapped cloud services from empty racks twice and repurposed existing hardware for cloud once.

I understand why there's no "cap" available on any cloud services. I mostly have a problem with capitalism, which is ironic, considering this site.
