OpenStack as a Service enables Adminstrators to move upstack and concentrate more on helping their users and less on the low level details of managing their cloud hardware and software. However, this can come at a perceived cost: Cloud Administrators are used to being able log in to devices in their networks and see exactly what is going on. In this presentation, we show how providing Admins with enhanced platform visibility through features like LiveStats and Historical Metrics can obsolete the requirement that Admins have root access to every device in their clouds, and enable them to invest their time and energy in areas where their users will benefit the most.
