This document discusses standardization activities related to cloud computing. It begins with an introduction to cloud computing concepts and models. It then addresses three key issues: 1) understanding cloud computing definitions and taxonomy, 2) security, availability, and other concerns raised by cloud adoption surveys, and 3) ongoing standardization efforts through ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC38 to address interoperability, portability, and other issues. The document provides an overview of discussions around what aspects of cloud computing would benefit from standardization to reduce vendor lock-in and support a common architecture.

3. Why Cloud Computing?
• Online Computing by network
Everything is connected !!!
• Service itself is more important
Make it possible everything As-A-SERVICE !!!
• Ubiquitous Era
You can do in every device !!!

8. Definition
“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.”
