The document discusses emerging cloud concepts at JPL, including: 1. The Cloud Application Suitability Model (CASM) which evaluates an application's readiness for the cloud. 2. The Wheel of Security which examines security considerations at different levels from institution to applications to development. 3. Cloud Readiness Levels (CRL) which provide a framework to assess an organization, applications, and development processes for cloud adoption.
