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.

    My name is Anne Umbongo. I am the widow of deposed African Dictator Umbongo Umbongo. Before he lost power my husband owned application delivery meta data in the cloud, which he acquired after a Russian businessman had an unfortunate accident. He intended to display it as a trophy outside his palace in his new capital of Umbongonia which he was building in the desert with funds from the UN, EU etc.

    I will sell you application delivery meta data in the cloud for a good price!
