“The relationship between central IT and developers is being re-defined as the world adopts cloud technologies. The ultimate challenge is making central it feel secure while simultaneously giving developers freedom. IT wants to be able to control the deployment of applications so that there is consistency and adherence to policy. The policy could be related to PII or even the size of the VM that will host the application. There could also be cost considerations as well as monitoring and performance. Developers want to focus on their applications, their code. Developers don’t want to worry about public versus private cloud or with finding exactly their app should be installed.”
