The Scenario: This private cloud satire cartoon captures the ultimate corporate sleight of hand.
Two men walk past a glass-walled data center filled with the same server racks they’ve used for years.
The punchline reveals that while no actual migration occurred, the facility is now officially a "Private Cloud" because it has been blessed by a steering committee, a vision statement, and a deck of glossy slides.
It perfectly mocks the executive belief that you can "word-process" your way into digital transformation.
The Observation: At Kaapi with Ravi, we identify "The Semantic Upgrade." This cartoon mocks how organizations use "Private Cloud" as a linguistic shield to hide a lack of technical progress.
Instead of doing the hard work of modernization, they simply wrap their legacy technical debt in the vocabulary of 2026.
It’s a sharp critique of a culture that values the committee more than the capability, proving that any server can be a "cloud" if you have enough PowerPoint animations to back it up.
In the modern enterprise, a "Private Cloud" is often just a basement full of servers that has recently acquired a marketing budget and a steering committee.
