In his blog story with the title "Its The Application, Stupid", Daniel Kushner explains that cloud computing brings exponential complexity with the touch of a button. He is right. Given that I know and trust at least one investor in Nolio, I am certain that the company is on track to help reduce the complexity of the release management task of "Application Service Automation".
Even with the best software release management tool, engineers will still need to define and test the application package. I believe that integration of application management with the change and release management processes is essential to improving service levels. In practice, this means that as applications are moved to QA, application monitoring changes also need to be tested in QA. As application changes are moved to production, application monitoring changes also need to move to production. Many might read Kushner's article and agree that automation of application changes will become more and more important as we move toward cloud computing. I agree. I also believe that automation of these changes need to include automation of the application management changes; and the integration of the application management changes with application changes will be just as important.
