What is preventing enterprise adoption of the cloud?

• Enterprises will not deploy cloud applications without adequate controls

• Cloud vendors offer limited visibility into their infrastructure– Cloud APIs don’t show in-depth monitoring metrics

• Existing systems management tools are not cloud aware– They don’t track virtualized components that change dynamically

– Not aware of cloud-specific configuration ”meta-data”
