Publication number: 20110167469Abstract: Technologies are described herein for cloud monitoring federations that can include cloud monitoring services (CMS) that collect monitoring information from point of presence (POP) agents. The cloud monitoring POPs may be located in the cloud, on client machines, embedded within cloud applications, or wherever they can obtain visibility into managed entities associated with the cloud. Management systems, acting as cloud monitoring clients (CMC), may interface with the CMS to obtain a complete view of services and application used by their enterprise including those that operate outside of the enterprise premises as part of a cloud or outside network. The publishing by POPs and consumption by CMCs of management information across components within the enterprise and out in the cloud may be supported by managing roles, responsibilities, scopes, security boundaries, authenticity of information, service level agreements, and other aspects of cloud monitoring operations.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2010Publication date: July 7, 2011Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Ilarie Letca, Ashvinkumar J.
