IBMCloud

Ease of Use for End Users (you can’t control end users)
• Cloud security should not require users to change behaviors or tools

Inconsistent Control (you don’t own everything)
• The only thing you can count on is guest VM ownership

Elasticity (not all servers are steady-state)
• Cloudbursting, stale servers, dynamic provisioning

Scalability (highly variable server counts)
• May have one dev server or 1,000 production web servers

Portability (same controls work anywhere)
• Nobody wants multiple tools or IaaS provider lock-in
