This document discusses cloud computing standardization. It notes that cloud computing is already widely used but that issues around reliability, security, portability, and interoperability require standardization. It outlines several standards development organizations working on cloud computing standards including ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC38 SGCC and ITU-T FG Cloud. These groups are working to develop standards around terminology, taxonomy, security, interoperability and other issues to address challenges and enable further cloud adoption.

•! Web Services, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), and
•! Cloud Computing.
As per the JTC 1 Directives, SC 38 establishes its own substructure at
its first meeting in Beijing China, May 2010
• Web Service WG
• Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) WG
• Cloud Computing SG

20. JTC1
ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC38 / SGCC
Terms of References for SGCC
1. Provide a taxonomy, terminology and value proposition for Cloud Computing.
2. Assess the current state of standardization in Cloud Computing within JTC 1
and in other SDOs and consortia beginning with document JTC 1 N 9687*.
3. Document standardization market/business/user requirements and the
challenges to be addressed.
4. Liaise and collaborate with relevant SDOs and consortia related to Cloud
Computing.
5. Hold open meetings to gather requirements as needed from a wide range of
interested organizations.
6. Provide a report of activities and recommendations to SC 38.
