Managing cloud services

摘要

A system, and computer program product for managing cloud services are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A first set of management functions is instantiated external to a microkernel of a management system for managing a set of cloud services. The management system further includes a second set of management functions executing within the kernel of the management system. A subset of the first set of management functions is associated with a cloud service in the set of cloud services. A management task for the cloud service is handled using the subset of the first set of management functions. A usage information corresponding to the use of the subset of the first set of management functions for handling the management task for the cloud service is reported.
