QKS Group defines “Cloud management platform (CMP) combines tools, processes, and technologies that enable organizations to monitor, control, and manage multi-cloud (on-premises, public, and hybrid) resources and services. Through this centralized platform, organizations can measure and control the utilization of cloud computing resources by incorporating self-service interface, provisioning and orchestration, governance, life cycle management, workload optimization, intelligent automation, discovery, and visibility across various functional areas.
