What new cloud projects are you working on in C++?

I'm interested out of general curiosity and also from
a business perspective -- http://webEbenezer.net/about.html

Brian, if you are going to advertise your website then don't attempt to
thinly disguise it as a post apparently about something else as that is
more irritating than a straight advert.

I was interested in cloud computing prior to starting
a company and that interest continues to this day.

We can't typically tell you about works in progress since there
is typically NDA. There are no "cloud computing". The "clouds" are what
we tell to idiots. In reality there are rented server resources and
network services ran on such.

I keep in mind individuals and small companies.

It's common terminology from what I can tell.

Merriam Webster has a definition of cloud computing --
but it's not a good one in my opinion. They say the
term goes back to 1996, so that much is helpful.

For small company or individual it is even worse idea to gossip
about innovative work not yet ready.

You snipped most of my point. That is false attribution.

Dictionaries have been wrong before. "Clouds" and "cloud computing"
are not synonyms to "rented servers" or "internet services" but are
deceptive marketing hype about rented servers and internet services.

Dell wants to help people "be your own Chief Cloud Officer" --
https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/learn/dell-cloud-computing
. That's a noble goal in my opinion.

Everything what is on that page is about same as on similar pages of
Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Adobe, VMware, IBM, Rackspace, Red Hat and
so on just name it. They are all about as helpful.
Dell has been manufacturer of bargain bin computers. People do not
like those. So it got noble idea to enter server renting market.
