ISO/IEC 17788
ISO/IEC standard that provides an overview and vocabulary for cloud
computing.
Application Capabilities Type
Cloud capabilities type in which the cloud service customer can use
the cloud service provider's applications
Cloud Application Portability
Ability to migrate an application from one cloud service to
another cloud service.
Cloud Auditor
Cloud service partner with the responsibility to conduct an audit of
the provision and use of cloud services.
Cloud Capabilities Type
Classification of the functionality provided by a cloud service to
the cloud service customer, based on resources used.
The cloud capabilities types are application capabilities
type, infrastructure capabilities type and platform capabilities type.
Cloud Computing
Paradigm for enabling network access to a scalable and elastic pool
of shareable physical or virtual resources with self-service
provisioning and administration on-demand.
Examples of resources include servers, operating systems,
networks, software, applications, and storage equipment.
Cloud Data Portability
Data portability from one cloud service to another cloud service.
Cloud Deployment Model
,Way in which cloud computing can be organized based on the
control and sharing of physical or virtual resources.
The cloud deployment models include community cloud, hybrid
cloud, private cloud and public cloud.
Cloud Service
One or more capabilities offered via cloud computing invoked using
a defined interface.
Cloud Service Broker
Cloud service partner that negotiates relationships between cloud
service customers and cloud service providers.
Cloud Service Category
Group of cloud services that possess some common set of qualities.
A cloud service category can include capabilities from one or
more cloud capabilities types.
Cloud Service Customer
Party which is in a business relationship for the purpose of
using cloud services.
A business relationship does not necessarily imply financial
agreements.
Cloud Service Customer Data
Class of data objects under the control, by legal (ie. copyright) or
other reasons, of the cloud service customer that were input to
the cloud service, or resulted from exercising the capabilities of
the cloud service by or on behalf of the cloud service customer via
the published interface of the cloud service.
It may be that the cloud service contains or operates on data that is
not cloud service customer data; this might be data made available
by the cloud service providers, or obtained from another source, or
it might be publicly available data. However, any output data
produced by the actions of the cloud service customer using the
capabilities of the cloud service on this data is likely to be cloud
service customer data, following the general principles of copyright,
unless there are specific provisions in the cloud service agreement
to the contrary.
Cloud Service Derived Data
,Class of data objects under cloud service provider control that are
derived as a result of interaction with the cloud service by the cloud
service customer.
Cloud service derived data includes log data containing records of
who used the service, at what times, which functions, types of data
involved and so on. It can also include information about the
numbers of authorized users and their identities. It can also include
any configuration or customization data, where the cloud
service has such configuration and customization capabilities.
Cloud Service Partner
Party which is engaged in support of, or auxiliary to, activities of
either the cloud service provider or the cloud service customer, or
both.
Cloud Service Provider
Party which makes cloud services available.
Cloud Service Provider Data
Class of data objects, specific to the operation of the cloud service,
under the control of the cloud service provider.
Cloud service provider data includes but is not limited to resource
configuration and utilization information, cloud service specific
virtual machine, storage and network resource allocations, overall
data center configuration and utilization, physical and virtual
resource failure rates, operational costs and so on.
Cloud Service User
Natural person, or entity acting on their behalf, associated with
a cloud service customer that uses cloud services.
Communications as a Service (CaaS)
Cloud service category in which the capability provided to the cloud
service customer is real time communication for interaction and
collaboration.
CaaS can provide both application capabilities type and platform
capabilities type.
Community Cloud
Cloud deployment model where cloud services exclusively support
and are shared by a specific collection of cloud service
, customers who have shared requirements and a relationship with
one another, and where resources are controlled by at least one
member of this collection.
Data Portability
Ability to easily transfer data from one system to another without
being required to re-enter data.
It is the ease of moving the data that is the essence here. This
might be achieved by the source system supplying the data in
exactly the format that is accepted by the target system. But even if
the formats do not match, the transformation between them may be
simple and straightforward to achieve with commonly available
tools. On the other hand, a process of printing out the data and
rekeying it for the target system could not be described as "easy".
Data Storage as a Service (DSaaS)
Cloud service category in which the capability provided to the cloud
service customer is the provision and use of data storage and
related capabilities.
DSaaS can provide any of the three cloud capabilities types.
Hybrid Cloud
Cloud deployment model using at least two different cloud
deployment models.
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Cloud service category in which the cloud capabilities type provided
to the cloud service customer is an infrastructure capabilities type.
The cloud service customer does not manage or control the
underlying physical and virtual resources, but does have control
over operating systems, storage, and deployed applications that
use the physical and virtual resources. The cloud service
customer may also have limited ability to control certain networking
components (e.g., host firewalls).
Infrastructure Capabilities Type
Cloud capabilities type in which the cloud service customer can
provision and use processing, storage or networking resources.
