@mreferre Not necessarily. For an ISV, “supporting” a cloud could mean providing both the virtual appliance and the delivery blueprint.

@mreferre The question is: who could do a better job at designing the app blueprint? The cloud management vendor or the ISV? @reillyusa

@mreferre Every cloud management vendor has or is working on application delivery blueprints. You could include HP CloudMaps too @reillyusa

@reillyusa @mreferre Or, ISVs have to start shipping software with delivery blueprints for a number of supported cloud environments.

@reillyusa Sure. You just have to stay within the 6 months window between new API releases.

@reillyusa Amazon confirms that CloudFormation could be invoked by other (maybe on premises) orchestrators in chained complex workflows

@reillyusa Agree again. OVF didn’t really progress quickly enough to fit the need. @mreferre Extensibility requires many parts to agree

@reillyusa Isn’t CloudFormation a raw form of run book automation?
