Gabriel, In regards to operation issues, management and SLA(s), there are several initiatives that come to mind:
1) Rewrite and enhance CloudStack HA (being worked on) - the specs are posted on Confluence, targeting KVM primarily, as Xen and VmWare have this problem solved 2) Distributed Resource Scheduler (work begins in 2 months) - similar to VmWare DRS, except its less sophisticated and plug-gable. It will move the VMs within your cluster to host with least usage, it can be extended to shutdown idle hosts and bring them up - when needed, reference feature #3 below 3) IPMI Support (completed) - ability to issue power level commands through hosts IPMI interface (ILO,DRAC, etc...) 4) Usage Metrics View - enhancement to UI to show current usage and hot spots in your env. Already available... More to come, this is what i know off so far..
