The CADF is working to develop open standards for audit data which can be federated from cloud providers, with the intent to elevate customer’s trust in cloud hosted applications.

Specifications and profiles produced by the CADF will help protect the investments of companies seeking to move their applications to cloud deployment models and preserve their ability to audit operational processes, regardless of their chosen cloud provider. The CADF develops specifications for audit event data and interface models and a compatible interaction model that will describe interactions between IT resources for cloud deployment models.

The CADF forms a key piece of DMTF’s overall cloud initiative. The specifications developed in the CADF will combine with those developed by other DMTF cloud work groups to provide a suite of specifications that enable interoperable cloud management between service providers.
