Cloud-scale automation requires significant changes in the operation of a data center. Depending on the usage pattern of the cloud, either cloud provider or cloud consumer, the impact to your data center differs. In the industry, the technologies covered under the term "Software Defined Data Center (SDDC)" are supposed to address these changes. But are Software Defined Network and Software Defined Storage really enough? I will show that there is more required to achieve a true "Software Defined Environment (SDE)." This talk will describe an architectural view on all aspects of SDE and how it addresses the requirements triggered by cloud environments.
