As already noted, the term 'cloud' is now used in many different ways,

I get the impression that this was the original usage, from diagrams where
the network was abstracted as a vague cloud whose details were irrelevant.
Hence "cloud computing" == computing somwhere out in the network where we
don't need to care about the details.
