Cloud watching
Cloud watching is defined as the procedure of judgment, observation, and the administration of cloud supported services, applications, and the structures needed for efficient governance. Most firms employ applications which contain the observance tools to make the cloud-based applications. Cloud monitoring tools work through a set of handy tools in the supervision of servers, resources, and the applications running the applications. They generally originate from the two primary sources, which are: in house tools from the cloud provider and the tools from an independent provider (Chen, Xu, Mahalingam, Ge, Nguyen, Yu, & Lu, 2016).
Change governance refers to the process of prompt conduction of the indispensable applications needed to achieve the change expected. Its main objective is to enable changes to be made while guaranteeing maximum disruption in the services. It is very widely used to maintain the best services in their ways. This is a better idea in which the services are delivered in the cloud to consider automation auto-provision and the services in decommission.
Configuration management is a scheme engineering practice for creating and upholding uniformity of a product’s concert, purpose, and human qualities with its necessities, enterprise, and working information through its life. It is a procedure that is well supported by product management and firms. This is a widely used procedure, and it is profitable when used in very many situations, mainly (Rhett, 2016).
The definitions as based on the meaning carried by the cloud vendors and also the cloud consumers. They are kind of different at some point as they defer to varying ways, while at the other ways, they are at some point the same as they advocate for change in the bigger picture. They are all practical procedures, but they bring out different results; hence at the bigger picture, they are not the same just different; thus should be endorsed.
