41. RightScale Multi-cloud Customization
Cloud Mapping
Generic to cloud-specific (Server > instances, security
groups > VLANs, etc.)
Cloud Gateway
Interface to cloud API
42. Region-specific
Images
RightLink Install Packages
Cloud Management UI
Manipulate raw cloud resources (instances, volumes, IPs,
etc.)
Multi-cloud Services
Tie in with additional 3rd-party cloud services (AWS SQS,
etc.)
APIs are not enough RightScale is customized to each cloud at many
levels
= custom to each cloud
