Well, the cloud provider may be free to. An end user of a public cloud typically doesn't have much influence over the choices that service provider has made, but I suppose they're free to take their business elsewhere if they want an environment where they can boot images that use Debian's cloud kernel. While OpenStack is increasingly popular for private cloud operations these days, it was originally designed for use as a public cloud service in competition with the well-known proprietary cloud providers. There are hundreds of public clouds worldwide whose services are really just OpenStack, though they often don't advertise that fact. (Known OpenStack public clouds account for more data centers and regions across the globe than the proprietary providers put together, at last count.) The biggest challenge, as this current concern highlights well, is that you can't assume the same images which work in one provider will work in another, due to the difference in configuration choices the provider might make. -- Jeremy Stanley
