A fundamental reference point, based on the NIST definition of cloud computing, is needed to describe an overall framework that can be used government-wide. This document presents the NIST Cloud ...

This paper presents the first version of the NIST Cloud Computing Reference Architecture (RA). This is a vendor neutral conceptual model that concentrates on the role and interactions of the ...

Last is NIST’s hybrid cloud model, in which multiple cloud systems are connected in a way that allows programs and data to be moved easily from one deployment system to another.

Proposed reference models for cloud computing include both the NIST Cloud computing Reference Architecture (Special Publication 500-292) and the emerging ISO/IEC/ITU DIS 17789 (Information ...

NIST aims to foster cloud computing systems and practices that support interoperability, portability, and security requirements that are appropriate and achievable for important usage scenarios.” ...

The second volume, Useful Information for Cloud Adopters, introduces a conceptual model, the NIST Cloud Computing Reference Architecture and Taxonomy and presents U.S. government cloud target ...

The document provides insight into the choice of the 10 requirements and the Priority Action Plans listed in Volume I. NIST says its previous work in cloud computing includes an internationally ...
