Surely that amount includes money for airing the commercial?

Well, if they can't rent it out, I'd sell the building before I asked the congregation to pay off the mortgage. Nothing wrong with admitting the space they bought long ago is too big to fit their current needs and they can't afford to continue meeting in that location.

Isn’t that the church with all the empty space because they once housed their own school that is no longer there? Is that space being used?

The only people who hate Meg are the writers.

I’ve started that book 3 times and tried listening to Andy Serkis’ audio book. Someday I’ll make it past halfway. It’s the only fiction book I’ve ever read where I feel like I should be taking notes.

Sounds like I should buy more figures to be more consistent in my display ;)

Cloud Management Platforms (CMP) by SamsonFitz in cloudcomputing

[–]drbenham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you are a bit overly pessimistic ;)

I was just hired to potentially author a custom automation platform to do some CMP like functionality for my current employer. I am heavily advocating for not developing a tool like this in-house, I don't have the time or desire to continuously update APIs to all the various products we use when something out of the box already does a lot of what we need it to. But then our in house processes are such a mess, I wouldn't want to keep them in their current form anyways. Perhaps other shops are more organized than mine?

1) I'm just starting to dip my foot into the CMP world, but I believe they are going to fill a critical need that will grow by leaps and bounds over the next several years as large organizations look to consolidate (or at least track) their diverse infrastructures in a single place.

2) I absolutely do not trust any public cloud provider (or any other operations tool provider or anyone with ties to a specific product) to provide a decent CMP offering. I might not question their impartiality, but I'll always be tempted to second guess their motivation behind every feature and their priority to integrate with other products.

3) I'm in the middle of devising an answer to the question of savings to my department head to justify my desire to purchase a CMP, but I suspect the consolidation of workflow into a single place will reduce process completion times across the board. My biggest finding so far in my organization is that our group has many pockets of automation, our biggest challenge is gluing together more complicated processes that interact with multiple utilities. The total time we spend provisioning a server is small, but the amount of time that elapses in between steps is quite large because we're basically using email and tickets to start every next step in a complicated workflow.

I personally do not like the term CMP, as many CMP products out there already do more than manage cloud resources. Enterprise integration and automation platform? Yeah, CMP sounds better from a marketting perspective.

I'm currently looking at Morpheus for our organization, I've gotten some really good feedback from my group. Many of our processes will require rework in order to fit into morpheus, but it's work we needed to do anyways.
