Stratos - the meaning

[Paul Fremantle <pa...@wso2.com>]

Sorry this is a bit of a diversion but...

My son is studying greek and I was helping him learn his vocab. He had to
translate στρατός and after a while I realized that was Stratos. It means
Army in Greek.

We originally chose the name based on the cloud term, but actually I like
the "army" analogy a lot: Stratos is like an army of workers of different
types. And the manager is the στρατηγός (strategos) - the general. That is
where strategy comes from.

Diversion over.

Paul
