The main idea here is how cloud services relate to IoT. A blanket claim that the internet cloud “covers” all computers, mobiles, peripherals and people is misleading. Cloud services aren’t a single umbrella that physically contains every device or every person. They are a distributed set of services accessed over the internet, used by devices and applications, and devices may operate with edge processing or offline at times. IoT cloud is specifically designed to manage huge fleets of constrained devices, collect and process time-series telemetry, handle device provisioning and updates, and support scalable data ingestion with latency-aware processing. Saying there is one universal cloud that covers all devices and people ignores these realities and the specialized role of IoT cloud. That’s why that statement is incorrect.
