web application security in the cloud is better accomplished at the edge, with a web application firewall or similar solution, than it is inside the cloud in the application. This is true regardless of whether the cloud model is public or private; basically if you’re being charged on a per-usage basis then placement of web application security solutions has an impact on the total cost of running your application.
