8 Some questions  What are the essential painpoints?  Does it change your approach/assumptions for systems research?  Is system management a first-class research problem now?  Domain-specific versus general cloud services: where would you put your money?  Do we know how to approach research frameworks for cloud ? –Scale, workloads, failure patterns, dynamic evolution
