Chris et al. I have written a technical review of why a cloud logging standard doesn't make any sense here:
- http://raffy.ch/blog/2011/02/14/why-a-cloud-logging-standard-doesnt-make-any-sense/ Aside from the many many shortcomings that are addressed in my blog post, standardizing cloud logging is like saying we are going to write a standard for mobile phone logging, one for green data center initiatives, one for virtualization, etc. We need one standard. The cloud is not special. It's a virtualized, distributed, asynchronous environment. We need to add these (and other) use-cases to an existing or a new logging standard, but not create a variety of different use-cases. Let's define what the cloud use-case demands and add it as a requirement to some other standard. Please consider this when looking at the cloud-draft. Thank you!
