Cloud Computing Pyramid

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Cloud Computing

Abstract

In this chapter, we start by examining the roots of Cloud Computing, present a usage model pyramid for different type of services, and present five essential characteristics identified by NIST. Then various stakeholders in Cloud Computing value chain are reviewed along with their concerns. At the end, we will wrap up with implementation considerations for Cloud Data Centers.
