Cloudy Operations
summary
Cloud does not magically include ops: providers supply VMs but not orchestration, config management or system integration, so teams must build provisioning, monitoring and service discovery themselves. Example: one shop graphs business activity by collecting 85,000 metrics/sec into Cassandra across ~4,000 servers. Goalposts shift — teams aim to reach a desired state for 10,000 servers in under five minutes — which drives automation choices, log/event management, and the need to register roles so load balancers and services configure themselves.
