Select your provider based on their ability to meet your requirements - the
provider selection should be a very late decision in your process.

Much of this is irrelevant with a cloud service provider, or defined by you
when you set up your service.  The whole point of cloud is to abstract
yourself from the underlying details of the infrastructure required to
provide the service to you as the customer.  If you want to control those
things, cloud isn't right for you.

Start with what your goals are.  Then go and ask the providers you talk to
how they would help you to meet those goals.

Happy to talk more off-list - this topic really isn't appropriate for the
AusNOG lists anyway.
