Definition of Cloud Computing
NIST 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.
5 Cloud Components and characteristics
