Abstract
Virtualization is a key technology for current data centers to consolidate their resources in order to lower the total cost of ownership benefiting from the economies of scale. Cloud computing becomes an increasingly established technology enabling providers to realize that vision. Meeting the technical requirements of Clouds while staying flexible against changing business requirements new challenges to operations management in Cloud data centers are emerging. Standard interfaces and holistic approaches to manage operational processes and infrastructure resources are still missing. Hence, this paper reflects the current state of the art in the context of Cloud operations management to obtain an overview of existing approaches and applied operation processes on the one hand and to examine the need for further research on the other hand. It is demonstrated that such a research gap does exist since the existing literature is not considering the whole context of Cloud operations management yet.
