Cloud Architecture

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Cloud Computing

Abstract

Cloud architectures can be analyzed from two different perspectives, i.e., from an organizational or from a technical point of view. The organizational view, which will be discussed in Sect. 3.1 below, makes a distinction based on the extent to which the users’ and providers’ organizational units are separated from each other, while the technical view in Sect. 3.2 is oriented towards functional features. Thus, the organizational view corresponds to the deployment model and the technical view to the service models as specified in the NIST definition [105] we presented in Sect. 1.2.
