Editor's Notes
- Promise: by the end of this talk, you’ll know whether you need cloud management software or not.\n
- If you like that CloudStack is open source, you might want to consider using an open source cloud management tool too.\n
- It’s an abstraction layer for cloud resources which lets you operate in the concepts that you care about: applications and the services that make up their components. So you focus less on the tactics, and more on the strategy.\n
- - Cloud Management is getting very big\n- On Google, there is approximately on query every minute related to Cloud Management\n
- IT departments are “under staffed” -> insufficient automation, too much repetition.\nStems from lack of standardization\nWhat’s not repetition in your organization, can be repetition in the market (upgrading WP) (that’s why SaaS is great)\n
- Think of a messy toolshed: takes time to find stuff. In case of emergency, world of hurt.\nTens of teams, hundreds of projects, things get hard.\n
- Would you give your teenage daughter your credit card? Breakdown of bills and expenditures by activity, group, is important to upper management.\n
- Varying levels of lock-in. Lock-in can be architectural: using services that are internal.\nUse software with permissive licenses (open source, unlimited licenses).\n
- Disgruntled employee.\nCloud keys is root access.\n
- Developers don’t know enough about security.\nSecurity can be sacrificed for agility.\n
- If you move to the cloud but bring along everything that was slowing you down in traditional hosting, you won’t be successful.\n-> Need to re-evaluate process. Self service needs to be complemented with tooling.\n
- Risky, nobody wants to take the risk.\nBetter to do this while everyone is watching.\nData growth >> bandwidth growth\n
- Can’t connect to the internet. Is it me, or is it everyone?\nWhen you look at the individual ant, you can be misled into thinking that the ant colony is dumb. Aggregation and reporting of data across teams and organizations is important.\n

- What was my promise? Help you decide if you need cloud management software. For small applications, you don’t need it. But at scale, and with complexity, you should use a tool that lets you manage systems and not servers.\n
