The Scenario: This public cloud satire cartoon presents a physical metaphor for digital infrastructure.
A man and woman stand before an elevator so packed with people that no one can move.
The man gestures toward the crowd, explaining that the public cloud is exactly like this jammed lift: everyone is frantically pressing buttons to get to their specific destination, but because it’s a shared resource, no one actually owns the mechanism or the outcome.
The Observation:At Kaapi with Ravi, we identify "The Shared Responsibility Trap."
This cartoon mocks the industry's obsession with "Public Cloud" as a limitless resource.
In reality, multi-tenancy often leads to a "noisy neighbor" environment where your speed is dictated by the crowd around you.
By showing a lift that is going nowhere because it’s over-encumbered, we highlight the frustration of paying for a "premium" service that feels like a crowded commute.
In the public cloud, "shared infrastructure" is just a polite way of saying you’re stuck in a lift with 500 strangers who are all trying to go to different floors at the same time."
