The whole thing itself is kinda confused about what exactly the cloud has to do with outsourcing. Going to the cloud doesn't magically get rid of programmers. It just means you might have one or two fewer people because you don't need to worry about managing the actual hardware. Writing the software, maintaining it, patching it, etc. still needs to happen. Overall, more sensational than it really needs to be. The fact that Big Corp. is figuring out how to have a leaner IT operation is a good thing but they were bloated to begin with and are just catching up. Not really news to anyone who has seen those things.
