NIST Cloud Computing Reference Architecture
- 2. 1. Background
NIST : The goal is to accelerate the federal
government’s adoption of secure and effective
cloud computing to reduce costs and improve
services.
- 3. NIST working group
- Cloud Computing Target Business Use Cases
- Cloud Computing Reference Architecture and Taxonomy
- Cloud Computing Standards Roadmap
- Cloud Computing SAJACC (Standards Acceleration to
Jumpstart the Adoption of Cloud Computing)
- Cloud Computing Security
- 4. 2. Objectives
Provides a simple and unambiguous taxonomy of
three service models
- Software as a service (SaaS)
- Platform as a service (PaaS)
- Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)
(Private cloud, Community cloud, Public cloud, and
Hybrid cloud)
- 5. Provides a unifying view of five essential
characteristics
- On-demand self-service
- Broad network access
- Resource pooling
- Rapid elasticity
- Measured service
The project team developed a Strawman
model of architectural concepts
- 11. Cloud Auditor => security controls, privacy impact,
performance
Cloud Broker => intermediation, aggregation,
arbitrage
