Vivek Kundra Keynote at the Cloud Computing Forum & Workshop

As mentioned, all of these are important when considering Cloud Computing: Privacy, Security, Interoperability, and Data Portability. However, absent from your list was "Application Performance Management"

There is a need to develop tight SLAs around "End User Experience" including the ability to troubleshoot to end across the networks and systems. I think CIOs may underestimate the challenge with moving some of these legacy applications - may not work well across the WAN. @PainPoint

Mr. Kundra and the Government's CIOs should be applauded as they intentionally move to Cloud computing platforms to save taxpayer money, become more responsive to citizens and drive productivity improvements. I especially liked his "Snow-megeddon" example of the 4 days in Feb '10 when the Government shut-down operations, yet found more technologically advanced capabilities at their HOMES than at work.
