Cloud computing refers to applications and services delivered over the internet. There are three main types of cloud offerings: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). Private clouds run on internal infrastructure behind a company's firewall while public clouds exist outside on external infrastructure. Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC) allows companies to build private clouds using their own infrastructure that match the API of Amazon EC2, the standard for public clouds. Future releases of UEC aim to improve integration with management tools and provide increased portability between internal and external cloud environments.
