Close, but no cigar

There is no requirement that a cloud be publicly accessible. In many cases, corporations use cloud products to supplement existing production. In that case, the public access is via the existing security scheme and the cloud assets are never directly accessible via public IP.

Also, there is no requirement that a cloud asset be management tool agnostic. In order for the cloud vendor to support enterprise change management standards, like ITIL, there will need to be mature coupling between the internal and external management tools. Of course, if cloud in your world is just a no-SLA, no-governance blob used for development and casual products then these things wouldn't matter.

And by the way, it's tenant, not tenent.
