The following list of cloud characteristics apply to IT organization in general even if an organization isn’t yet shifting to a cloud environment;
Real-time statistics, monitoring, and metering of services (transparency into the cloud environment)

This includes real-time monitoring of service status, metered resource utilization dashboards, and service-level agreement (SLA) reporting scorecards.
Self-service management
