The Deep Dive

 NIST: 5 Essential Characteristics
1. On-demand self-service. A consumer can unilaterally provision
p
computing g capabilities,
p , such as server time and network storage,
g , as
needed automatically without requiring human interaction with each
service’s provider.
2. Broad network access. Capabilities are available over the network
and accessed through standard mechanisms that promote use by
heterogeneous thin or thick client platforms (e.g., mobile phones,
laptops, and PDAs).
3. Resource pooling. The provider’s computing resources are pooled to
serve multiple consumers using a multi-tenant model
model, with different
physical and virtual resources dynamically assigned and
reassigned according to consumer demand. There is a sense of
location independence in that the customer generally has no control
or knowledge over the exact location of the provided resources but
may be able to specify location at a higher level of abstraction (e.g.,
country, state, or datacenter). Examples of resources include storage,
processing, memory, network bandwidth, and virtual machines.
 NIST: 5 Essential Characteristics
4. Rapid elasticity. Capabilities can be rapidly and elastically
provisioned,, in some cases automatically,
p y, to q
quickly
y scale out and
rapidly released to quickly scale in. To the consumer, the capabilities
available for provisioning often appear to be unlimited and can be
purchased in any quantity at any time.
5. Measured Service. Cloud systems automatically control and
optimize resource use by leveraging a metering capability at some
level of abstraction appropriate to the type of service (e.g., storage,
processing, bandwidth, and active user accounts). Resource usage
can be monitored, controlled, and reported providing transparency for
both the provider and consumer of the utilized service.
 NIST: 3 Service Models
1. Cloud Software as a Service (SaaS). The capability provided to the
consumer is to use the p provider’s applications
pp runningg on a cloud
infrastructure. The applications are accessible from various client
devices through a thin client interface such as a web browser (e.g.,
web-based email). The consumer does not manage or control the
y g cloud infrastructure including
underlying g network, servers, operating
p g
systems, storage, or even individual application capabilities, with the
possible exception of limited user-specific application configuration
settings.
2. Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS). The capability provided to the
consumer is to deploy onto the cloud infrastructure consumer-
created or acquired applications created using programming
languages and tools supported by the provider. The consumer does
not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure including
network, servers, operating systems, or storage, but has control over
the deployed applications and possibly application hosting
environment configurations.
 NIST: 3 Service Models
3. Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). The capability provided to
the consumer is to p
provision processing,
p g, storage,
g , networks,, and
other fundamental computing resources where the consumer is
able to deploy and run arbitrary software, which can include operating
systems and applications. The consumer does not manage or control
y g cloud infrastructure but has control over operating
the underlying p g
systems, storage, deployed applications, and possibly limited control
of select networking components (e.g., host firewalls).

 NIST: 4 Deployment Models
1. Private cloud. The cloud infrastructure is operated solely for an
g
organization. It may
y be managed
g by y the organization
g or a third p
party
y
and may exist on premise or off premise.
2. Community cloud. The cloud infrastructure is shared by several
organizations and supports a specific community that has shared
concerns (e.g., mission, security requirements, policy, and compliance
considerations). It may be managed by the organizations or a third
party and may exist on premise or off premise.
3. Public cloud. The cloud infrastructure is made available to the
general public or a large industry group and is owned by an
organization selling cloud services.
4. Hybrid cloud. The cloud infrastructure is a composition of two or
more clouds (private, community, or public) that remain unique
entities
titi but
b t are bound
b d together
t th byb standardized
t d di d or proprietary i t
technology that enables data and application portability (e.g., cloud
bursting for load-balancing between clouds).
