Different types of cloud computing services have emerged to meet varying needs; consumer web applications prioritize costs and performance while complex simulations require more resources, and integrating software-as-a-service brings new requirements. While virtualization separated services, software, and hardware, cloud computing recombining them in different configurations for different use cases. Managing this transformation challenges IT leaders as strategic issues change every six months but infrastructure updates take around ten years, underscoring the need for methodical project management approaches to handle increasing complexity in cloud computing.

2. It used to be simple – now it is getting complexDifferent use case have different requirements Consumer web applications Costs Performance Location Certifications Network …. Software testing Complex Simulation Integrated SOA services … Lot’s of different clouds

3. Cloud Computing – the anti-virtualizationVirtualization was about decoupling – Cloud computing re-couples Services Software Hardware

4. The transformation speed issueCIOs need to work with the uncertainty Speed of change in strategic issues: average 6 month Strategy Complete change of implementations in infrastructure: about 10 years Technology

5. Complexity – the ever evolving issue

6. Being method-driven is keyMethods help to divide and conquer
