Nice Article, but there is something that makes difference between cloud computing and virualisation. There is nothing that virualisation can't do that cloud computing can do. If you go for difference between them you will end up with advantages of one over other. Anyway, the main difference is Manual intervention. In cloud you have no or lesser manual intervention. Rest is marketing stunt....

I don't think this is really a valid comparison. Virtualization is used by every cloud computing vendor as a core characteristic of their compute offerings.
The main advantages of cloud computing vs. on premise virtualization are scale and reduced management overhead. With cloud I don't have to worry about managing any hardware or hypervisor software, and I can usually scale to a much larger degree than with on premise virtualization.

Exactly, there is post V-M= CLOUD .
Thanks for the input. This is why I love OpenSource sharing :) just started taking the AWS cloud classes. Am learning everyday.
Nice!!! I will take an opportunity to suggest you to also go for Linux foundation courses. They are generic and works beyond control of companies.
Okay
