Does anyone have a take on how automation and orchestration will come into play? How can we build a "skynet" without it becoming 'Skynet'? Is how it works up to the users or the programs?

One concrete example of how #VMware and #NetApp are leveraging orchestration is via integrations with #vCAC and #WFA - leveraging storage abstraction from #ONTAP to setup app level provisioning faster http://www.netapp.com/in/media/tr-4217.pdf

I feel automation is starting to become another buzz word and everyone is going to start wanting automation soon if not already.I think organizing all of the automation solutions will be a task in itself.
Christopher Wells Ah yes. You and I are on the same page. Need intelligence (read: AI) built into the system... hence the 'Skynet' reference ;)

I don't see automation has a completely hands off approach to completing complex tasks. I see it as another way of creating validity and repeatability to complex tasks to insure data integrity.
vmiss but what if the automation tool could "learn" when new systems/components were added? that isn't too far off, just a few variables...
Christopher Wells At some point, the users will need to trust the programs to get it right. Assuming that the programs have been created by good users, not evil ones...

First, determine if cloud models are even appropriate for their biz problems.

love the analogy! we're a long way from programs running the show, but with sea of resources to orchestrate the progs will certainly provide infra curation services via automation & orchestration to help qualified humans make good decisions
