“Dad, what are clouds made of?”/“Linux servers, mostly.”

A joke about cloud computing was posted on Twitter on May 19, 2017:

SON: Daddy, what are clouds made of?
DAD: Linux servers mostly.

The joke has been printed on several images.

Wikipedia: Cloud computing
Cloud computing is an information technology (IT) paradigm, a model for enabling ubiquitous access to shared pools of configurable resources (such as computer networks, servers, storage, applications and services), which can be rapidly provisioned with minimal management effort, often over the Internet. Cloud computing allows users and enterprises with various computing capabilities to store and process data either in a privately-owned cloud, or on a third-party server located in a data center - thus making data-accessing mechanisms more efficient and reliable. Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economy of scale, similar to a utility.
