Hybrid is the dominant cloud model, and it requires new management tools from a new crop of vendors, Forrester says

As organizations increase their use of cloud services, Forrester principal analyst Dave Bartoletti says they're coming to this realization: No one platform can provide everything developers and IT operations professionals need.

According to a poll of global technology users, nearly two-thirds said they’re using more than one public and/or private cloud at the same time. As has been predicted for years, hybrid cloud has become a dominant deployment methodology. Organizations are combining public cloud resources with private cloud infrastructure, or multiple public clouds, or multiple private clouds. When they do so, an overlay management software for controlling all those assets can be very helpful, Bartoletti says.

For the first time Forrester has produced a Wave report examining the leading vendors in this hybrid cloud management market, and the crop of providers leading the pack could come as a surprise.

Bartoletti breaks the market down into two major categories. There’s a relatively new collection of vendors selling agnostic management platforms. Tools from RightScale, CliQr, Dell and Scalr do not have affinity to any one cloud vendor, so they can manage many different clouds. The second category includes pre-existing software from classic management vendors like VMware, Red Hat and IBM. These vendors have extended their virtualization management software to now include cloud management.

Perhaps most surprising about this list is that vendors like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft (Azure) and Google (Cloud Platform) – who dominate the IaaS public cloud market, aren’t atop this list of cloud management tool providers. After all, why would they want to sell customers management software for competitors’ clouds?

Bartoletti says he sees two major use cases for these hybrid cloud software packages. The first is a multi-public cloud environment. It’s not uncommon to see an organization using Amazon Web Services in certain departments or developer teams. Perhaps the marketing department has a new mobile or Java app that needs to be able to scale quickly. AWS is a great fit. There may be other developers who are more used to working in a Windows environment and prefer to use Azure. A single cloud management platform can provision virtual machines and storage to both these clouds and give IT central control and visibility into how the clouds are being used.

There’s another use case for hybrid cloud software in which teams within an organization are all using the same public cloud, for example AWS. These hybrid cloud products can act as a central portal for users to access AWS resources and for IT to monitor the use.

These tools are “still in the maturing phase” though, Bartoletti says. The “nirvana” is to get to a point where users have a “single pane of glass” to manage multiple clouds and dynamically move workloads across clouds. We’re not quite there yet. Typically, the most functionality for dynamic usage across clouds comes within a homogenous environment: Users can do some cool stuff with vMotion in an all-VMware environment that combines vSphere with vCloudAir, for example. Managing applications across AWS and Azure is still a cumbersome process though, so expect more innovation in this market.

Despite their shortfalls, these can be incredibly helpful tools for users. “At their core, hybrid cloud management solutions are automation and orchestration platforms. They automate manual or scripted tasks to request, change, or deploy standardized cloud services, and they orchestrate the execution of these tasks across a range of cloud platforms, often leveraging other automation tools like configuration management or provisioning,” Bartoletti wrote in the report.

Rounding out the list of vendors who made the cut were Hewlett Packard Enterprise, BMC, Microsoft and Citrix.

Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Describe how, then, hybrid technology could be favorable.

answer: Hybrid technology can be favorable in a multi-public cloud environment.

text: This doesn't fully answer the question

refinement: Hybrid technology can be favorable in a multi-public cloud environment. It helps IT professionals to manage data in an environment where users use more than one cloud infrastructure.

answer: Hybrid technology can be favorable in a multi-public cloud environment. It can also be favorable in a homogenous environment when users can do some cool stuff with vMotion in an all-VMware environment.

answer: It has become the dominant cloud model as more and more people begin to use hybrid models. There are more cloud providers in the current period than at any time previously, but the tools and software in this business have always been a game of catch-up.

answer: Hybrid technology could be favorable for many reasons. The first is that it can help users manage their cloud resources better. It also helps them manage their cloud resources better.

text: Repetitive

refinement: Hybrid technology can help users manage their cloud resources better.

answer: Reuse of resources is possible with two separate technologies or two private clouds. by combining two clouds into a single digital workspace, a lot of time and money can be saved. It complements the infrastructure set-up for cloud usage and managing the infrastructure for applications.

answer: It has become the dominant cloud model as more and more people begin to use hybrid models. There are more cloud providers in the current period than at any time previously, but the tools and software in this business have always been a game of catch-up. Certain features have the potential to make or break either the customer's experience or their wallets. Creating something that works seamlessly between all platforms requires time, patience, and money for development of the online platform. So, this is why the new agnostic cloud management platforms have become very favored in the business; yet, it is vitally important to take into account a customer's environment. Non-hybrid solutions add another layer of architecture that runs less smoothly because they cannot handle the hybrid solutions.

The 2007 CALDER CUP PLAYOFFS of the American Hockey League began on April 18, 2007. The sixteen teams that qualified, eight from each conference, played best-of-7 series for division semifinals, finals and conference finals. The conference champions played a best-of-7 series for the Calder Cup. The Calder Cup Final ended on June 7, 2007 with the Hamilton Bulldogs defeating the Hershey Bears four games to one to win the first Calder Cup in team history.[1] This was a rematch of the 1997 Calder Cup Final, where Hershey defeated Hamilton in five games.[2]

Carey Price won the Jack A. Butterfield Trophy as playoff MVP, and became only the third teenage goaltender to lead his team to a Calder Cup championship in AHL history.[3]

Playoff seeds

After the 2006–07 AHL regular season, 16 teams qualified for the playoffs. The top four teams from each division qualified for the playoffs. However, it was possible for the fifth-placed team in the West Division to take the spot of the fourth-placed team in the North Division if they earned more points, since the North Division had one fewer team. This did not occur as the Grand Rapids Griffins, the fourth-placed team in the North Division finished with 85 points while the Peoria Rivermen, the fifth-placed team in the West Division, finished with 84 points. The Hershey Bears were the Eastern Conference regular season champions as well as the Macgregor Kilpatrick Trophy winners with the best overall regular season record. The Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben Knights were the Western Conference regular season champions.[4]

Eastern Conference

Atlantic Division

1.  Manchester Monarchs – 110 points
2.  Hartford Wolf Pack – 98 points
3.  Providence Bruins – 94 points
4.  Worcester Sharks – 93 points

East Division

2.  Chicago Wolves – 101 points
3.  Milwaukee Admirals – 96 points
4.  Iowa Stars – 88 points

Bracket

In each round the higher seed receives home ice advantage, meaning they can play a maximum of four home games if the series reaches seven games. There is no set series format for each series due to arena scheduling conflicts and travel considerations.[5]

refinement: The Calder Cup Playoffs of the American Hockey League consists of 16 teams, eight from each conference. The best-of-7 series involves division semifinals, finals, and conference finals. The higher-seeded team in each round receives the home advantage, playing up to four of their matches in their arena.

answer: There are two divisions played in a league style for points. The top four teams from the two divisions in each conference qualify for the playoffs. However, the fifth-placed team in the West division can advance to the playoffs if they get more points than the fourth-placed team in the North division. That is because the West division has one more team than the North division. Each conference holds its semi-final and final matches before the conference finals are played. Each match-up in these finals is a best-of-7 series. The higher-seeded team in each round receives the home advantage, playing up to four of their matches in their arena.

The POLITICS OF CALABRIA, Italy takes place in a framework of a presidential representative democracy, whereby the President of Regional Government is the head of government, and of a pluriform multi-party system. Executive power is exercised by the Regional Government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the Regional Council.

Executive branch

The Regional Government (_Giunta Regionale_) is presided by the President of the Region (_Presidente della Regione_), who is elected for a five-year term, and is composed by the President and the Ministers (_Assessori_), who are currently 11, including a Vice President (_Vice Presidente_).[1]

List of Presidents

Legislative branch

The Regional Council of Calabria (_Consiglio Regionale della Calabria_) is composed of 50 members. 40 councillors are elected in provincial constituencies by proportional representation using the largest remainder method with a Droop quota and open lists, while 10 councillors (elected in bloc) come from a “regional list”, including the President-elect. One seat is reserved for the candidate who comes second. If a coalition wins more than 50% of the total seats in the Council with PR, only 5 candidates from the regional list will be chosen and the number of those elected in provincial constituencies will be 45. If the winning coalition receives less than 40% of votes, special seats are added to the Council to ensure a large majority for the President's coalition. Parties obtaining less than 4% receive no seats, no matter if they are in coalition with larger parties or not.[2]

The Council is elected for a five-year term, but, if the President suffers a vote of no confidence, resigns or dies, under the _simul stabunt, simul cadent_ clause introduced in 1999 (literally _they will stand together or they will fall together_), also the Council is dissolved and a snap election is called.[3]

Local government

Provinces

Municipalities

Calabria is also divided in 404 _comuni_ (municipalities), which have even more history, having been established in the Middle Ages when they were the main places of government.

What does the text say about votes?

answer: The text indicates that executive power is exercised by the Regional Government, that Legislative power is vested in both the government and the Regional Council, and that the regional council is composed of 50 members, 40 councillors elected in provincial constituencies, and 10 councillors elected from a regional list. It also indicates that if the winning coalition receives less than 40% of votes, special seats are added to the Council to ensure a large majority for the President's coalition. Parties obtaining less than 4% receive no seats, no matter if they are in coalition with larger parties or not. One seat is also reserved for the candidate who comes second. In addition, if the President suffers a vote of no confidence, resigns or dies, under the "simul stabunt, simul cadent" clause introduced in 1999, also the Council is dissolved and a snap election is called.

text: It's omitted that the President is elected seemingly by votes.

refinement: The president is likely elected by votes. The regional council is composed of 50 members, 40 councillors elected in provincial constituencies, and 10 councillors elected from a regional list. It also indicates that if the winning coalition receives less than 40% of votes, special seats are added to the Council to ensure a large majority for the President's coalition. Parties obtaining less than 4% receive no seats, no matter if they are in coalition with larger parties or not. In addition, if the President suffers a vote of no confidence, resigns or dies, under the "simul stabunt, simul cadent" clause introduced in 1999, also the Council is dissolved and a snap election is called.

answer: The president is elected via votes. The coalition contains 50 members, and they are also voted in. If the winning coalition receives less than 40% of the votes, special seats are added to the Council to ensure a large majority of the President's coalition. With less than 4% of votes, this party will receive no seats. If a Council is elected for a five-year term, but the President suffers a vote of no confidence, dies or resigns, the Council is dissolved.

text: It's omitted that 40 councilors are elected in provincial constituencies by proportional representation, and 10 councilors, including the President Elect, are elected in bloc and put on a regional list.

If a Council is elected for a five-year term, but the President suffers a vote of no confidence, dies or resigns, the Council is dissolved.

answer: The text says that the Regional Council is elected by proportional representation via the largest remainder method with a Droop quota and open lists. Parties who obtain less than 4% of votes do not receive any seats, even if they are in coalition with larger parties. If the President suffers a vote of no confidence, resigns or dies, the Council is also dissolved and there is a snap election.

answer: Each year, a sizeable amount of constituents are elected, 40 to serve a 5-year term as one of 50 members of the Regional Council. Members are also elected in bloc constituencies, as well as members elected in provincial constituencies. Certain members, however, are elected in order to ensure a large majority for the President, in the event that coalition support is insufficient. If the President suffers a vote of no confidence, resigns, or dies, the Council would also dissolve and lead to an immediate snap election for the seats.

answer: Voting is compulsory in Italy, but turnout is low. The elector system was introduced by Italian Dante Alighieri in the middle of the 14th century. In 1999 a simul stabunt, simul cadent clause was introduced by the government so that if the President suffers a vote of no confidence, resigns, or dies, the council is dissolved and a snap election is called. Parties obtaining less than 4% receive no seats, no matter if they are in coalition with larger parties or not. In the latest regional election, Jole Santelli of Forza Italia was elected president by a landslide.

“Where do we go from here?”  I thought as I laid on the rickety, old hotel mattress, my hands resting behind my head to avoid direct contact with the well-used pillow.  I stared at the ceiling while I pondered, trying to create a map in my head of where the next destination would be.  “Hey, Kale, should we travel north or west?” I turned my head toward him as I said the last word of my question.
	“Up to you.  You’re the master planner here,” Kale replied, a smirk growing on his handsome face.  I pondered further, my foot rapidly fidgeting as it dangled off the edge of the bed.  “But honestly, we need a better hotel next time,” he added, a few moments later.  I finally looked away from the ceiling as I removed my left hand from behind my head.  I started to examine my hand, slowly turning it and observing as if I had never seen it before.  My fingernails were chipped and dried blood rested around the edges.
	Kale was in the corner of the room sitting in an ancient armchair, his backpack in front of him so he could search through it while remaining seated.  He rustled around as if looking for something.  “Kale, do you think we can ever escape?” I asked, a hint of concern in my voice.
	“Our only limits are in our minds.  I know we can, and we will,” he assured me.  At that moment I realized that we could be running for a long time.  Cult leaders don’t let people leave easily.  Not alive, anyways.
	“Why did I join that stupid group anyways?” I thought to myself.  It was like signing up for a credit card - once you sign, you’re pretty much stuck with it for life.  I finally sat up on the rather lumpy bed and swung my legs around to the side.  I stood up, stretched my arms out, and casually wandered over to the window.  The tattered curtains were translucent and I could see the sun setting over the water without even moving them.
	“It’s a beautiful night,” Kale whispered from behind my neck, his breath sending a shiver down my spine.  I hadn’t realized he had gotten out of his chair.  He wrapped his hands around me, clasping them over my belly button.  “We should just forget everything and go out for a walk.  We can’t pass up a beautiful sight like this.”  Kale moved his left hand along my back and reached for my right hand.  He grabbed it gently and started to lead me to the old, wooden door.  I was in a state of infatuation and stupidly allowed him to guide me.  Kale and I walked down two flights of creaky, wooden stairs and exited the Lands End Hotel.  The truth behind the name of the hotel put me on edge, making me feel like there really was no escape other than to swim.  Or boat, but we had no way of getting one.
	We began to walk along the dirt path.  The hotel was in a forested area with a nearby beach.  Mosquitoes buzzed by my ears and I tried to swat them away with my free hand.  I realized that every aspect of my life involved getting rid of something, more accurately someone.  Renaldo sure was not happy when he found out that Kale and I left the cult.  Romance was not permitted there so we ran off together.  Betrayal was not permitted either.  Renaldo had likely sent Hugh and Gregory - two very strong men - after us.  Either that or he was chasing us himself.  I’d rather test my chances with Hugh and Gregory because Renaldo certainly had issues.
	Every time a twig broke beneath my feet, or a rodent scurried in the distance, my heart would beat faster.  I broke into a cold sweat.  Kale noticed the worry in my face and said, “Rita, don’t worry, we’re going to be fine out here.  There’s no way Renaldo could find us so quickly.  Just relax and enjoy the scenery.  It’s not every day that you get to visit Nova Scotia.”  He was right.  I tried to focus on the briney air coming in with the ocean breeze.  It calmed me and I became lost in the orange-pink sky.
	After walking for about a half hour, Kale suggested that we turn back.  He once again guided me and I once again allowed him to, only this time I really wanted to.  I felt safe with Kale.  The sun was barely visible, it was nothing but a thin gash on the canvas that was the sky.  With all the trees it was difficult to see, but the comfort of the air and Kale’s warmth allowed me to stay relaxed.  “Okay, we’re almost back,” I thought, “Only a few more minutes to go.”  I remembered the uncomfortable bed and suddenly heading back was less desirable, but I wanted to get away from the mosquitoes and the openness of the unfamiliar area.
Kale led us around a large tree; it must have been hundreds of years old.  I didn’t remember seeing it on the way out and felt a bit uneasy.  As I took my next step, my left foot caught on something.  I fell to the ground and the air escaped my lungs.  “Kale!  Where are you? I can’t see!” I shouted with the last bit of breath I could scrounge up.  A hand grabbed mine to help me up.  I instantly felt relieved.  But I soon realized that the hand was too big to be Kale’s.  I tried to let go but the hand clamped down on mine; the hand was so large that it completely consumed mine.  “Kale!  Help!” I tried my luck again, but there was no response once again.  I felt my heart break.  “Something is wrong,” I thought.  I figured that there was no point in wasting my energy on trying to escape my captor’s grasp, so I decided to save the effort for a better opportunity for escape.  The man ironically led me back to the hotel, but rather than going in the main doors, he opened a cellar that was accessible on the shore-side of the hotel.
	As I was forced to descend down the cold, cement stairs into the darkness below, I worried about Kale and whether he was okay.  “Sit,” said the man before me.  His dark silhouette pointed to an empty milk crate.  I obeyed without hesitation, a scrap of hope in mind.  The man aggressively tied my hands behind my back with a rope.  He took out a flashlight and shined it in my eyes so that I could not see what he looked like.  I heard a cough in the background, revealing that a second person was also in the room.  Using my energy that I saved from earlier, I headbutted the man in the groin.  The flashlight dropped to the ground and I rushed to pick it up, freeing my hands easily along the way with the adrenaline running through my veins.  I was shaking but I managed to aim the flashlight around, slowly at first, then quicker as I was trying to locate the second person in the room.  The man on the ground, sure enough, was Hugh.  I assumed the mysterious second person would be Gregory since they were always paired up together, but it wasn’t.  The circle of light allowed me to catch a glimpse of the second person’s shoe.  I slowly aimed the light up toward the face of the person.  “It can’t be... it just can’t...” I whispered aloud.
	“I’m so sorry, Rita,” whimpered Kale as he pointed a gun at my chest.

answer: The protagonist named Rita is on the run from a dangerous cult with her lover Kale. While they are out walking they accidentally trip on something, leading to Rita falling to the ground and being grabbed by someone.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Summarize the cult that Rita and Kale are running from.

answer: Rita and Kale are running from a cult lead by Renaldo, who forbids any form of romance. They have fled to Nova Scotia, but are being pursued by Hugh and Gregory. While walking by the beach one night, Rita fell and was captured by a shadowy figure. It turned out to be Kale, but he was holding a gun pointed at Rita. Left with no other option, she used the flashlight to find Hugh and Gregory in the room and knocked the man holding her to the ground before he could tie her properly. She managed to shine the flashlight at Kale and see that he was the second person in the room.

text: All sentences but the first are irrelevant to the prompt.

refinement: Rita and Kale are running from a cult lead by Renaldo, who forbids any form of romance.

text: Should mention that the cult does not tolerate betrayal.

refinement: Rita and Kale are running from a cult lead by Renaldo, who forbids any form of romance or betrayal.

answer: The "cult" is a term used to describe a secretive and dangerous religious setup that requires that the only way to survive is to obey the directives of its leaders. The cult was compelling Rita and Kale to do all sorts of things that were on the extremes of morality which would ultimately threaten others too.

text: No mention of morally questionable extremes are mentioned in the text.

text: Should mention the rules described in the text.

refinement: The "cult" is a term used to describe a secretive and dangerous religious setup that requires that the only way to survive is to obey the directives of its leaders. The members of the cult are forbidden to betray the cult as well as have any romantic entanglements.

answer: Initially, Rita doesn't mind the rules of the cult because of her relationship with Kale and maybe even the leadership. A few months pass until Kale reveals that he wants the rules to be broken, but what Rita's not knowledgeable about is that he wants to jettison the cult in totality. Rita decides to leave with him, and they think they can, but they're unaware that while they might be able to leave the cult, they can't escape the people that are after them.

text: Response is incredibly inaccurate to the text.

refinement: The "cult" is a term used to describe a secretive and dangerous religious setup that requires that the only way to survive is to obey the directives of its leaders. The members of the cult are forbidden to betray the cult as well as have any romantic entanglements.

answer: According to Rita, the cult that her and Kale left from didn't let people leave, you were stuck with it for life. Romance was not allowed and that is why Rita and Kale left. Renaldo seems to be the cult leader, with Hugh and Gregory as other members. Hugh captured Rita, so it is clear the cult is willing to go to extreme measures to follow through on their rules. This is also shown at the very end when Kale pulls a gun on Rita.

answer: The cult Rita and Kale are running from is led by Renaldo, who does not allow any form of romance or betrayal. Eventually, Hugh and Gregory caught up with them and they were captured and brought down into a cellar. Kale revealed himself to actually be the second captor and he held a gun to Rita's chest. The cult is based on strict control, restriction, and repression.

text: Only the first sentence is necessary for the response.

refinement: The cult Rita and Kale are running from is led by Renaldo, who does not allow any form of romance or betrayal.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Summarize Rita and Kale's relationship.

answer: Rita has joined a cult and so has Kale and they left the cult together. Rita feels safe with Kale.

text: Response should mention that they are romantically involved.

refinement: Rita joined the same cult as Kale, which sparked a romance that was against the rules, so they left the cult together. Rita feels safe with Kale.

answer: Rita and Kale have romantic feelings for one another, so they decided to run away, betraying their cult. They basically became fugitives on the run.

answer: Rita clearly cares deeply for Kale, which makes his betrayal at the end even worse. Rita thinks that Kale is handsome, and is infatuated with him. She trusts him, and is worried about him when she gets captured. She is almost in disbelief at the end of the story when Kale points the gun at her.

answer: Rita and Kale's relationship is tumultuous at best. They originally travel together for survival purposes but Rita's concerns about betrayal lead her to wonder if they can ever escape. However, Kale reassures her that they can and they share a kiss. While at the Lands End Hotel, Rita falls and Kale turns out to be the one holding her captive. Ultimately, it is Kale that turns on her and this breaks Rita's heart and trust in him.

text: Not an accurate representation of what occurs between the pair in the text.

refinement: Rita clearly cares deeply for Kale, which makes his betrayal at the end even worse. Rita thinks that Kale is handsome, and is infatuated with him. She trusts him, and is worried about him when she gets captured. She is almost in disbelief at the end of the story when Kale points the gun at her.

_Brown never missed a game in his nine seasons with the Cleveland Browns, from 1957 to 1965._

PEOPLE SAY, I'm seventy-two years young. My ass. I'm seventy-two years _old._ But you've got to live to get old. You can't get old without living.

I'M NOT a Martin Luther King and a Gandhi motherfucker. I don't know what they were talking about. Spit on my ass and I'll knock you out. I ain't going to sing and march, man. But I'm fair.

IF YOU TRULY believe something, and it's incorrect, that doesn't mean you don't have integrity.

CLARENCE THOMAS is a great place to examine who we are, what we think, what works, and what doesn't.

A LIBERAL IS arrogant enough to think he can do you a half-assed favor. He is superior enough to think he can give you something that you don't deserve. A liberal will cut off your leg so he can hand you a crutch.

YOU CAN'T help a motherfucker sitting on his ass, crying the blues.

YOU CANNOT get me to be disloyal to a friend. You just can't do it. Loyalty is a part of what I live by. I didn't say I was going to be loyal to my friend because he was right. I'm going to be loyal to my friend because he's my friend.

TO LEAVE at twenty-nine years old, MVP, having won the championship in '64 and played for it in '65. To go into the movies and break the color barrier and be in a sex scene with Raquel Welch. To get to be in _The Dirty Dozen_ with some great actors. To make more money in one year than you damn near made in nine years of football. Everything about it was ingenious.

I GAVE AWAY most of my trophies, put away the plaques.

GOD AIN'T got nothing to do with winning a damn football game.

SEX IS always wonderful, but it's like having a great meal. It is only what it is. It can never be everything in itself. And it has a downside that's devastating.

WHEN YOU understand sex, you understand that your fidelity is the greatest thing you have. It's yours, not hers.

THE NEED to be cared for is the base of everything. In the penitentiaries, you won't hear gangbangers and criminals say, "No, I don't want to be cared for by nobody." When you care about them, they'll open up to you. They'll tell you shit they'd never tell for money or for sex.

IT'S THE BIGGEST CRUTCH we can ever have: I'm a victim because of what white folks did. I was a slave. I didn't get a fair shot when I went for the job that they didn't give to me. I look and say, Look how you look, motherfucker. I wouldn't hire you myself. So let's deal with the fundamentals, man. Get yourself together and then we can fight the battle.

TELL YOU WHAT you got to do to compete. What you got to do to compete is compete.

YOU GOT the trickle-down effect. But what if I live in Watts? Poor people, you can vote a hundred times a day, you ain't gonna get that shit.

ULTIMATELY, the soil replenishes.

IF YOU'RE smarter than me, tell me some shit. I'll listen, you know. This is an open forum.
