One of the initial design decisions a cloud architect should make is whether to choose an Open-source CMP or a proprietary CMP. Listed are some of the design considerations that can guide the selection.
Considerations for selecting an Open-source CMP solution:
• Lower software costs for acquisition and licensing when compared to proprietary CMP. However, costs for integration and security hardening are an add-on and must be carefully considered.
• An Open-source CMP has simpler integration with other open cloud platforms due to common design and development style.
• Requires in-house development expertise, which is expensive, or reliance on open community to add functionality.
• Limited support options are available at any phase of design and integration of an Open-source CMP.
