14. 41. RightScale Multi-cloud Customization
    Cloud Mapping
    
    • Generic to cloud-specific (Server > instances, security groups > VLANs, etc.)
    Cloud Gateway
    
    • Interface to cloud API
    • 42. Region-specific
    Images
    
    • RS_enabled VM images
    RightLink Install Packages
    
    • Linux
    • 43. Windows
    Cloud Management UI
    
    • Manipulate raw cloud resources (instances, volumes, IPs, etc.)
    Multi-cloud Services
    
    • Tie in with additional 3rd-party cloud services (AWS SQS, etc.)
    APIs are not enough RightScale is customized to each cloud at many levels
    = custom to each cloud
