2014
+n when something happened. it is hard to figure out whats happening via
reading management-server.log
n User Interface for service providers
n Would be nice to have some guidelines on what parts are necessary to monitor, and how to monitor.
n Is there really Amazon EC2/S3 API support? For some reason the interaction with my billing system (…) and the CloudStack API is extremely slow and very CPU intensive (a few minutes to generate a single invoice for one month). I am not sure if it will scale.
n The error logs are to hard to parse and find what's wrong with the environment
n * Backup and Recovery of VMs in CloudStack is very inconsistent and slow on KVM. * Need java applet style uploads into CloudStack stores (something like vCloud) * Logging and control of the underlying infrastructure is immature * Needs progress bars in UI for longer running tasks with details displayed * Bunch of other stuff that could be improved .....

n Monitoring of virtual machines Integrated performance monitoring of virtual machines and physical hosts.
n usage monitoring, graphs, UI customization
n Console Proxy needs to be faster. I hear this all the time from our customers. Automated Zone failover and/or Region failover has been another big - repeated request. Better monitoring, down to the VM level.
Cloudstack Customers Said!
+ Different Stages of Analytics
+
What is my churn rate? What is the co-relation between VM life-cycle and Storage lifecycle? What is my capacity utilization? What are my zero-revenue making storage and compute products? Am I on track with my revenue numbers? Who are my valuable customers?
Why did a customer leave? Why did the CloudStack go down? Why did we run out of capacity? Why do we have so many un-utilized hosts?
What will happen to our capacity if we want to double of customers? What will happen if I change my product price? What will happen if I remove a server from the pool?
What should I do to increase my profit margin? What should I do to save 20% cost on my infrastructure? What should I do to keep my customer happy? What should I do to avoid a system down?
