SHOW: Season 2, Show 8

OVERVIEW: From the creators of the Internet's #1 Cloud Computing podcast, The Cloudcast, Aaron Delp (@aarondelp) and Brian Gracely (@bgracely) introduce this new podcast,  Cloudcast Basics.

1. If Cloud Computing has been around for 10+ years, why are the majority of business applications still not in the cloud? 
2. Do all cloud providers essentially charge the same prices? 
3. Are there any metrics or baselines we should consider for different aspects of cloud usage? 
4. Do any traditional business skills transfer to the cloud? (accounting, budgeting, project management, etc.)?
5. Should we add an economist or accountant to our technical teams?
6. When should I move from listening to Cloudcast Basics to The Cloudcast?
