The document details the management of cloud computing products and services, emphasizing the roles of public, private, and hybrid cloud environments, along with the necessary tools and policies for effective governance. It also introduces the Centralized Automation Manager (CAM) and NFV Operations framework, which automate cloud orchestration and lifecycle management through a unified approach that integrates various third-party tools and supports CI/CD workflows. Key features include customizable workflows, monitoring, security management, and high-performance network function virtualization (NFV) capabilities.

Cloud Management
Management of cloud computing products and services
• Start by defining what needs to be managed, and where and how to do it
• Public clouds are managed by service providers that include the public cloud environment’s
servers, storage, networking & data center operations
• Managing a private cloud requires software tools to help create a virtualized pool of compute resources, provide a
self-service portal for end users and handle security, resource allocation, tracking and billing
• Management tools for private clouds tend to be service driven, as opposed to resource driven, because cloud
environments are typically highly virtualized and organized in terms of portable workloads
• In hybrid cloud environments, compute, network and storage resources must be managed across multiple domains
• Policies to help govern these domains should include configuration and installation of images, access control, and
budgeting and reporting

Cloud Orchestrator
• A program that manages the interconnections and interactions among cloud-based and on-premises components such as
servers, storage & other networking gear
• By combining tasks into workflows the provisioning and management of various IT components and their associated
resources can be automated
• Common orchestration tools are Puppet, Chef, Ansible, Salt, Jenkins, etc.,
• Allow you to do what you would normally do as part of your build and deployment process in an automated and (more
importantly) consistently repeatable way
