SearchSOA asked Morgenthal: "What questions should an enterprise architect ask when reviewing a proposal for a cloud initiative?"
Would these questions be different from 3, 5, 10 years ago when considering outsourcing? Is vetting a so-called cloud provider today different from vetting, say, EDS last year? IMO, the questions/needs/eval criteria for considering outsourcing of infrastructure, hosting, etc. have not changed. Is there anything new that "cloud computing" has introduced? -Rob
