The Cloud Computing Use Case group brought together cloud consumers and cloud vendors to define common use case scenarios for cloud computing. The use case scenarios demonstrate the performance and economic benefits of cloud computing and are based on the needs of the widest possible range of consumers. The goal is to highlight the capabilities and requirements that need to be standardized in a cloud environment to ensure interoperability, ease of integration and portability. It must be possible to implement all of the use case described in this paper without closed, proprietary technologies. Cloud computing must evolve as an open environment, minimizing vendor lock-in and increasing customer choice. Version 3 has additional security scenarios, requirements and use cases.

Cloud Computing Expert from Canonical, Simon Wardley, and Cloud Café's John Willis discuss Cloud Computing.
Part 2: They discuss the benefits and risks of Cloud Computing, how standards have to be based on the open source refence model, and much more.
Cloud Computing Expert from Canonical, Simon Wardley, and Cloud Café's John Willis discuss Cloud Computing.
Part 1: They talk about what it is, the NIST definition, transition and change in attitude, how green the cloud really is, what's hot and more.
Private enterprise is still trying to achieve a collective understanding of cloud computing and its value. Many continue to argue over the viability of clouds, claiming obstacles ranging from security to performance. NIST has moved past the arguments and published a very complete definition of cloud computing, and even more, a document on how to efficiently and securly implement a cloud computing environment.
Cloud Computing expert and blogger, John Willis, gives a presentation covering Server Virtualization, Interoperability, Open Source Clouds, Private Clouds, Configuration, Automation and much more.
James and Geva are joined by John Willis, one of the leading bloggers and podcasters on cloud computing. They discuss some of the basic cloud computing elements, including, what is a cloud? Platform-as-a-Service, Infrastructure-as-a-Service and Software-as-a-Service, Hybrid Clouds and Cloud Bursting. They also talk about whether or not the analogy between electric utilities and cloud computing is a valid one and where the two may differ.
