+When using a cloud machine or service, a typical workflow is: 
 
-1. Provision: create and prepare resources and services: VM, storage, software installation, etc
-2. Stage: move code, software, and input data to the VM that will do that computations (execution)
-3. Execute: set the parameters and run the computation which generates output data onto storage
-4. Transfer: move (aka transfer) the output to the next phase in your workflow, often your own 'local' computer
