SAF - value proposition for cloud

["Vaught, Jeffrey A" <Jeffrey.Vaught@ca.com>]

Near the end of today’s meeting, Paul was struggling with the SAF Cloud Profile value proposition.

The gist of what he was saying (and hopefully he will respond with a clarification if needed):

-          The SAF catalog, in the Cloud context, will contain application specific information, not cloud generalizations.

-          For example, the cloud consumer may ask the provider: “I need more widgets”.  And the provider may respond by provisioning more widgets.  Thus, SAF catalogs (syndromes, protocols) will be filled with information about widgets, semantics such as “more” or “less”, and so forth.

 

Paul – Is this an accurate portrayal??
