This is really a reminder to me to rant more about this….visions of a recursive customer-supplier interaction model and endless links in diverse cloud service chains. The endless pursuit of end-to-end performance monitoring remains with us. So does the fact that two decades later many of us still wrestle with what is a service?
USM could be combined with performance monitoring in interesting ways, and in fact might help drive service definitions that are both customer-driven and identify end-to-end dependencies from a performance perspective…
…and with the customer calling the shots these days, that’s not a bad thing at all.
