Who Owns Application Delivery Meta-Data In the Cloud?

Posted by timothy on from the semi-esoteric dept.

Random Feature writes "The Cloud Computing Interoperability Forum (CCIF) is currently discussing cloud portability specifications. It seems crazy to define a standard before we even know who owns what in the cloud because you can only port what you own. For example, if you created a security or acceleration policy for your cloud computing-based app, is the policy yours or the provider's? Who owns meta-data in the cloud?" True portability between clouds seems to hang on the answer.

    I guess I was being sarcastic, but really ask yourself what did you agree to when you installed, or bought a monthly seat, or VLK? You agreed you sign your life away basically. But I see the discussion goes on who owns the meta-data for an app, I would have to say the security policy owns it. I shut your fucking port off, you no longer deliver your app. The rest doesn't matter. You don't like the provider, get lost.
