I must have been under a rock and missed what Broadcom apparently did.  That the majority of their revenue comes from a handful of very large customers doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

 ni> I personally dislike the cloud in everyway possible way. :) 

I dislike cloud virtual machines, but I get why companies do it.  I have a couple - one is a freebie Oracle cloud server, mostly because it was free, and one for $5/month in the US that I use as a private VPN server (I don't trust commercial VPN providers and the tainted IP space they hang out in any further than I can kick them).

I /really/ dislike cloud applicatons though - those ones that hold various collections of your data, where you're trusting their ability to keep it secure for you.  That, and some of them seem to come and go on a whim, or get bought by another company that your own customers might have an "issue" with.
