Cloud
compu.ng
is
a
model
for
enabling
convenient,
on-­‐demand
network
access
to
a
shared
pool
of
configurable
compu.ng
resources
(e.g.,
networks,
servers,
storage,
applica.ons,
and
services)
that
can
be
rapidly
provisioned
and
released
with
minimal
management
effort
or
service
provider
interac.on.
This
cloud
model
promotes
availability
and
is
composed
of
five
essen.al
characteris.cs
(On-­‐demand
self-­‐service,
Broad
network
access,
Resource
pooling,
Rapid
elas.city,
Measured
Service);
three
service
models
(Cloud
SoLware
as
a
Service
(SaaS),
Cloud
PlaNorm
as
a
Service
(PaaS),
Cloud
Infrastructure
as
a
Service
(IaaS));
and,
four
deployment
models
(Private
cloud,
Community
cloud,
Public
cloud,
Hybrid
cloud).
Key
enabling
technologies
include:
(1)
fast
wide-­‐area
networks,
(2)
powerful,
inexpensive
server
computers,
and
(3)
high-­‐
performance
virtualiza.on
for
commodity
hardware.
