  • How was security allocated before cloud computing? 
  • What does the cloud computing provider do with a security offering (responsibilities vs. customer responsibilities? Lots of variety, depending on the service
  • Why are there so many variations of security? (the entire stack needs to be secured, from infrastructure to applications to user interactions)
  • Does it matter where the security is located? How do clouds organize the security (availability zones, regions, etc.)?
