Abstract
We have by now introduced the main concepts of cloud service benchmarking and discussed the concept of system quality which cloud service benchmarking aims to measure. In this chapter, we focus on the different motivations for cloud service benchmarking, including SLA management, continuous quality improvement, and organizational process proficiency. Depending on the motivation, benchmarking will be used in different phases of an application lifecycle or may even be entirely decoupled from a concrete application. We also discuss how the different motivations affect the various benchmarking phases.
