Cloud is a somewhat new term that tends to be all encompassing of 
"someone else's problem / responsibility" read: "not my problem / not my 
responsibility".

"Cloud" does *NOT* imply that someone else has access to my systems, 
much less /complete/ access to them.  Nor does anyone at the VPS 
provider I use have /any/ knowledge of what my disk encryption keys are.

Some cloud offerings /do/ mean that level of access.  But there are 
other cloud offerings that are simply "rent this bare metal from us and 
do with it what you want to we can't / won't log into it".

Not all rental properties come with full access.  I've had many clients 
that had explicit clauses that landlords were expressly forbidden from 
being on the property / in the place /without/ the tenant being there. 
So much so that the tenant replaced all the locks & keys at their whim 
without telling the landlord.  The only hard requirement was that the 
tenant had to coordinate with the fire department to put a current key 
in the Knox Box, which the landlord has no access to.

There are all sorts of rental agreements.  Not all of them imply that 
the owner / landlord has physical access.
