Cloud Computing: The Definition

NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology definition of cloud computing 

 

 

Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.



Cloud services tend to fit into the category of SaaS (Software-as-a-Service), PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) or IaaS(Infrastructure-as-a-Service).
IaaS provides everything needed for server operation so that customers don't have to set-up their own server operation, hardware and server connectivity. PaaS adds a further layer of integrating providing the traditional server stack elements and installed code bases and databases as well as frequently layering on a codeless development environment. And SaaS delivers a complete application to end users via the browser with the rest of the cloud stack supporting it.
