ISO - Cloud Computing Standards 2 Agenda Cloud Computing Standards What is ISO / IEC ISO JTC/1 Standards activities JTC/1 SC38 Reference Architecture

ISO - Cloud Computing Standards 3 Cloud Computing & Standards Why are standards needed for Cloud Computing? enable Interoperability & Portability avoid vendor lock-in provide assurance: security, privacy Cloud Computing Standards many existing standards can apply to cloud e.g. encryption / authentication some new or adapted standards are necessary deal with unique cloud usecases

ISO - Cloud Computing Standards 4 What is ISO/IEC? ISO / IEC International Standards Organization International Electrotechnical Commission with ITU-T, has formal legal status for creation/approval of international standards JTC/1 = technical committee for ICT examples of well-known standards ISO (Security) ISO (Service management)

ISO - Cloud Computing Standards 5 ISO/IEC & the Standards World ISO / IEC cooperates with many other standards bodies: OASIS, W3C, IETF, DMTF, OMG, OGF, SNIA... Standards developed elsewhere can be submitted to ISO for publication as ISO standards ("PAS" process) examples: OVF WS-I Basic Profile V 1.1

ISO - Cloud Computing Standards 10 SC38 view Reference Architecture models the Cloud Computing space allows other specific standards to fit in to an overall picture e.g.: SNIA CDMI for storage OVF for machine images

ISO - Cloud Computing Standards 11 Summary Cloud Standards aim to remove barriers to adoption & increase ease of use ISO / IEC aims to provide appropriate Cloud standards ISO works with other standards bodies on specific areas
