Management & Operational Processes:• Automated provisioning and best fit placement• Workload balancing/resource optimization/Waste

detection• Root cause analysis/cloud support• Capacity management & planning• Lifecycle management

Security:• RBAC• Quota enforcement• Approval workflow• Policies/rules

Funding/Chargeback Model:• Charge for CPU, Storage, Memory, Network or Instances • 4 Dimensions: - Whole unit - Allocated

Service Description & Self-Service Interface:• Single pane of glass view – drill down into

“infrastructure” and “clouds”• User can manage their own workloads and

see-at-a-glance: - Guest OS - Platform - VM state - Policies (if applied) - Snapshots - View inside workloads/what's installed
