n  when something happened. it is hard to figure out whats happening
n  User Interface for service providers
n  Would be nice to have some guidelines on what parts are necessary to
monitor, and how to monitor.
n  Is there really Amazon EC2/S3 API support? For some reason the
interaction with my billing system (…) and the CloudStack API is
extremely slow and very CPU intensive (a few minutes to generate a
single invoice for one month). I am not sure if it will scale.
n  The error logs are to hard to parse and find what's wrong with the
environment
n  * Backup and Recovery of VMs in CloudStack is very inconsistent and
slow on KVM. * Need java applet style uploads into CloudStack stores
(something like vCloud) * Logging and control of the underlying
infrastructure is immature * Needs progress bars in UI for longer
running tasks with details displayed * Bunch of other stuff that could be
improved .....

n  Monitoring of virtual machines Integrated performance
monitoring of virtual machines and physical hosts.
n  usage monitoring, graphs, UI customization
n  Console Proxy needs to be faster. I hear this all the time from
our customers. Automated Zone failover and/or Region
failover has been another big - repeated request. Better
monitoring, down to the VM level.
CloudStack Customers Said!
+ Different Stages of Analytics

www.actoncloud.com
•  What is my capacity utilization at
cloudstack level & datacenter level?
•  What is the co-relation between VM
usage and Storage usage ?
•  What are unused storage and
compute service offerings?
•  What are my account level,
management server level,
infrastructure level alerts?
•  What is my Budget vs Spend?
•  Why did the CloudStack go down?
•  Why did we run out of capacity?
•  Why do we have so many un-
utilized hosts?
•  Why did a customer leave?
•  When should I procure
additional storage or server
capacity?
•  When will I meet my ROI?
•  What should I do to keep my
customer VM’s happy?
•  What should I do to avoid a system
down?
•  What should I do to save 20% cost
on my infrastructure?
•  What should I do to increase my
profit margin?
