Should ITIL Collide with the Cloud?

In a recent blog post by Robert Stroud, he discusses the relevancy of the ITIL CMDB in the era of the cloud. The question seemed to stir up a lot of emotions around cloud and standards (or the lack thereof). It seems to me that cloud could take a page out of the ITIL handbook...literally. With cloud, it is absolutely necessary to employ effective processes, policies and control. And that's what ITIL is all about. Perhaps it's time for ITIL and cloud to join forces. We shouldn't be abandoning our old ways of doing things, but evolve them to address the hybrid world we live in today.

What are your thoughts of ITIL and cloud? Read Robert's blog and join the conversation.

ITIL has become integral in many large companies.  As resources are moved to the cloud, it will become increasingly important that cloud providers deliver interfaces that allow config management systems to gather inventory automatically.

Without that capability, a company may lose track of assets it has in the cloud - including customer data.  ITIL - or something that enables ITIL - has to be part of effective cloud design.
