Re: [OPSAWG] New Version Notification for draft-palmero-opsawg-dmlmo-00.txt

Hi Marisol,

I have read the draft draft-palmero-opsawg-dmlmo-00 and have the following
questions/suggestions on the scope and use cases:

1. Does the scope include lifecycle management and operations for an
application that can be managed by the application vendor i.e. Software as
a Service(SaaS) application? In other words can the asset referred to in
the document be a cloud hosted software asset? If yes, that's great! I
think there is no standard to collect metrics that will help in asset
management and billing in the SaaS space and this work would be interesting
to SaaS applications.

2. Related to this an interesting use case that would be added to the
document is to support Billing based on the usage and consumption of the
SaaS application. To support this use-case for software/SaaS application
assets can the metric collection be made extensible to cover application
specific metrics? for e.g. A data analytics application may be interested
in metrics related to amount of data analyzed, number of requests triggered
for analysis, concurrent user sessions that trigger the request etc. These
metrics could be used for billing the consumers of the SaaS application.

3. Would you be interested in contributions if the above use cases and
asset type can be supported to extend the information model?

Thanks,
Shwetha
