It may merely be a question of UI, but making an API request and selecting something from a drop-down menu are different in the eyes of the person trying to get access to those resources. For cloud computing to really be a utility, it has to be as simple for people to use turning up a thermostat. That really changes things, and we're not there yet.</p> Nick, I’m looking at instant provisioning from the user perspective rather than from an IT manager perspective.
