Tightly integrated vertical stacks

for privateClouds can

limit flexibility

You’re right back where you started.

Very expensive.

The Answer?

# 22


Proprietary, closed public Clouds can be a problem.

The Answer?

# 23


The “Do it Yourself” Trap

• Most clouds are a set of APIsand simple UI to launchservers – is that what you need?

• These are basic building blocks, not a management system

• How should you spend your time?• Managing multiple users with different levels of access?• Configuration management and app lifecycle management?• Track usage and costs across applications and business units?• All the general purpose things you need to do like: Monitoring, Alarms,

Auto-scaling, etc.?
