Paper: Cloud Computing Use Cases V3.0  |

Dustin Amrhein , Sam Johnston , Patrick Stingley & John Willis |
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.

|
June 30 2009 - Washington Technology
|
The Chief Technology Officer of the Bureau of Land Management, Patrick Stingley, explains opportunities and challenges of the federal government adoption of cloud computing. He discusses what cloud really is, what cloud computing means to you, what cloud computing looks like from the government perspective, & what security risks cloud computing introduces.

Article: Cloud Architecture: A Working Definition |
|
June 19 2009
|
A working definition of Cloud Computing from two perspectives. From an engineering perspective the cloud is a computing architecture characterized by a large number of interconnected identical computing devices that can scale on demand and that communicate via an IP network. From a business perspective it is computing services that are scalable and billed on a usage basis.

Presentation: Cloud Computing for Geospatial Applications |
|
June 19 2009
|
The worst case scenario is not that a vendor charges us every 18 months for a new version of their product. It's not the cost of Patch Tuesday. It's that 5 years from now we won't be able to go back and refer to our data. Most agency applications are not designed to be able to be hosted in a cloud environment. They are vendor, hardware and platform dependent, which poses a threat to our long term ability to perform work. The long term gain of cloud computing will be the ability to perform our work indefinitely.

Presentation: Security and Cloud Computing |
|
June 19 2009
|
A presentation that addresses the overal potential of cloud computing and the security risks associated with it. Much of what is associated with securing the cloud is actually a question of outsourced IT. Threats can't be found by looking at the cloud but by examining the general science of Computer Security.
