What is the difference between cloud management in Jakarta vs London ?

[Daniel121]

I'd like to know  if there are major differences in functionality, easiness of use and set up for Cloud Management  in Jakarta vs London.

Hi Daniel,

in Kingston, there were plenty of new feature available, here below the release notes of Kingston and London related to Cloud Management, I would suggest you to have a look into it in deep.

If I have answered your question, please mark my response as correct so that others with the same question in the future can find it quickly and that it gets removed from the Unanswered list.

Thank you

Cheers
Alberto

New in the Kingston release

Cloud Admin Portal

Manage, govern, and design all your cloud services from the Cloud Admin Portal. The portal is based on the Service Portal. The Cloud Admin Portal also provides dashboards for users with the sn_cmp.cloud_admin, sn_cmp.cloud_governor, sn.cmp.cloud_service_designer, and sn_cmp.cloud_operator roles.

Business hour scheduling

Control cloud sprawl and significantly reduce the cost of virtual servers in public clouds by scheduling the servers to turn off during non-business hours (for example, nights and weekends).

Budget-based notification and approval

Set up budget limits for groups and users within each group. Configure regular notifications on the amount spent before the budget limit is met. You can set policies that require administrator approval to continue using the resources. Gives users and administrators visibility in cloud spending.

Manage personal and group resources

View and manage your resources as well as the resources assigned to all groups you belong to.

Azure account discovery

Discovers all subscriptions that a particular service principal has access to. Simplifies the process of on-boarding for Azure cloud accounts.

Task-based remediation

Creates a remediation or a catalog task when a request for a stack fails to provision. Users can resubmit the failed request and take assistance from cloud operators when provisioning issues occur.

Parallel resource provisioning

Reduces provisioning time for multi-resource stacks by automatically provisioning independent resources in parallel.

Support for Configuration Management providers

Integrates any Configuration Management provider (such as Chef, Puppet, or Ansible) in an agnostic way. Ansible and Chef are supported by default.

Support for ServiceNow metadata in Azure Resource Manager and CloudFormation templates

Improves end-user cloud catalog experience by adding ServiceNow-specific metadata to Azure Resource Manager and CloudFormation templates. The metadata ties the template parameters to cloud resource information in the CMDB so users do not need to enter free-form text in the catalog form.

Support for AllowedPattern in Azure Resource Manager and CloudFormation templates

Improves the cloud catalog experience for end users by validating input before the provisioning request is sent to the cloud. Cloud Management uses allowedPatterns metadata for template parametersto enforce the patterns when a catalog item is ordered.

Extend Cloud Management entities

Extends the functionality of cloud management entities such as resource blocks by adding or overriding existing operations.

New in the London release

Scoped application for content delivery

Using the standard Cloud Management entities, create scoped applications and publish them on a regular cadence to the ServiceNow Store. Create scoped applications using the ServiceNow Studio to support new cloud providers and configuration management providers.

Move Cloud Management content across environments

Move content, created in the Cloud Management application, from one environment to the other using ServiceNow Update Sets. Content entities such as blueprints, resource blocks, and cloud APIs, along with their dependencies, can be moved across environments.

I'd say it's a general learning trait that should improve your skills and techniques to turn into a liability, but see what I found here for more information.
I would have to study with you here. What I don't usually do! I enjoy reading a post that can make people think. and something useful to take

It all depends on your goals and needs. I use GcoreLabs for a long time and it suits me. Especially if you need a servar on the worldwide market, then it is ideal for you. Also, price = quality they are very good. My site is hosted by them and I will say one thing, it works very well! So for more info, check link here
