Ease of operations and optimized user experience
- Micro services architecture of the Cloudify manager, including means to run different services on separate hosts, and install the manager without some services (like monitoring and policy management)
- Events notifications mechanism In Cloudify UI dashboards

- Textual search for Cloudify resources
