Actually, I'd say it is equally important in a private cloud context as public. Just because the cloud is behind a firewall does not mean it does not need to be secured as carefully as if it were exposed to the internet.

One thing to watch for here is access control... Don't want one tenant
able to find out about another's usage. Probably not important on a private
cloud deployment, but certainly important in the public cloud space. Having
a separate endpoint to do this kind of admin stuff over also means you can
have much tighter IP level access controls...
