Cloud Management Platforms (CMPs) offer centralized infrastructure and resources management through discovery, template based provisioning, automated monitoring, and automation. They also provide robust cost-optimization and governance features that support multi-cloud strategies. They also help you identify opportunities to improve.
When deciding on a CMP be sure to ensure that it has the following capabilities:
Find and fix problems faster by performing root cause analysis which pinpoints the most critical failure points to reduce the time needed to repair. Self-service portals allow IT teams to solicit resources from end users, which reduces manual task of IT and improving end user experience.
A cloud-based management solution must be scalable, and allow for an easy integration with existing IT systems to ease deployment, management and optimization. It should also support multiple cloud platforms and hybrid environments. The ability to manage resources across cloud and on-premises platforms simultaneously reduces costs and boosts performance.
To allow greater flexibility in cloud-based operations, look for a cloud provider that offers various user interfaces. These include command-line, web and RESTful APIs. It must also be compatible with the bare-metal configurations as well as various hypervisors.
Select a vendor who offers a free version of their CMP for small groups to test the software before committing to an expensive version. A well-written documentation and a knowledge base is necessary to help your team quickly learn to use the tool. It should include best practices, troubleshooting guidelines and FAQs to help your team in implementing and manages the CMP.
