Further on, provisioning and using coarse-grained IT resources such as virtual machines became easier and faster. With such segmentation, the IT resource utilization efficiency has gone up significantly. Thereby every physical server machine gets segmented into a few logical/virtual machines (VMs).
Then came a number of automated tools to accelerate and augment IT server operations. It all started with server virtualization. Enabling frameworks, integrated platforms, knowledge guides, design patterns, evaluation metrics, best practices, a growing array of tools and other enablers from product, platform, and tool vendors and service organizations are collectively making the cloud paradigm mesmerizing. Pioneering algorithms are being unearthed to advance the cloud movement. There are many powerful technologies and tools to simplify and speed up cloud processes and operations.
Undoubtedly, the cloud journey is on the fast track.
