Once that has been put on the table, then the cloud provider needs to have 'instrumentation' for the purpose of defining, measuring and reporting performance against contracted SLAs. Will every cloud subscriber 'trust' the provider's infrastructure to spin up capacity real-time, dynamically? Or, will their be a significant portion of the market that requires SLAs be established and met. IMHO, we're never go to be 100% free of instrumentation, back office administration, reporting, etc...at least not across the broad marketplace of potential cloud subscribers.</p>keithhannaMon, 27 Jul 2009 16:01:21 -0000
