This article is substantially duplicated in one or more external publications. Since these publication(s) copied Wikipedia, rather than the reverse, please do not flag this article as a copyright violation of the following sources:
The section "Challenges and limitations" appears to use weasel words, in the euphemism meaning of "weasel words". Instead of calling the section, for instance, "Problems and criticisms", the current section title puts a positive spin on the problems of cloud computing by calling those problems "challenges": security, privacy, territoriality, etc. "Challenges and limitations" is the sort of phrasing industry uses to gloss over harms. The phrasing needs to be more balanced, reflecting the fact that handing data over to another company in another country, or data being exposed to a foreign intelligence service, is more than a "challenge", it's a problem and potential harm.

At the end of the second-to-last paragraph in the "History" section, someone might find a way to turn "In 2008 NASA's development ..." into a proper sentence. Thanks. Jorjulio (talk) 18:30, 21 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Concerns were raised previously via tag about AI-generated content in this article, which is prohibited per WP:NOLLM. This is a procedural talk page section to discuss it. There is no need to ping me in response. Read WP:AISIGNS for more information for why this is tagged; however, note that fixing the issue requires more than just changing the superficial signs.
