  2. Context What is Cloud? Cloud is: • The on-demand provisioning of applications, services, and/or infrastructure from a network, rather than a local computer • Not new technology, but new management capabilities, processes, and packaging

  3. Why Cloud? • Cloud is frequently promoted for: • Cost savings and efficiency • Flexibility and scalability • Reduced data center issues • Rapid application development • Better data security • But some fear: • Loss of control • Other data privacy and security issues • Audit process support, data location, etc. Value

  4. Cloud Definition • NIST* definition of Cloud • This cloud model promotes availability and is composed of: • 5 essential characteristics • 3 service models • 4 deployment models Cloud is not just about technology but about automating service management Let’s quickly review to have a common basis of understanding *National Institute of Standards and Technology-v15

  5. NIST Cloud Model Defines Three Dimensions 5 Essential Characteristics • On-demand self-service • Broad network access • Resource Pooling • Rapid elasticity • Measured service 3 Service Models • Cloud Software as a Service (SaaS) • Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS) • Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (Iaas) 4 DeploymentModels • Private Cloud • Community Cloud • Public Cloud • Hybrid Cloud National Institute of Standards and Technology-v15
