[occi-wg] Reminder: concall starts in approx. 1 hour! Was: Re: Reminder: weekly OCCI-wg concall - today @ 4pm CET

[Randy Bias]

This is more of a taxonomy than a cloud definition. I am still in  
belief that 'cloud' is an operational model and 'cloud computing' is  
that operational model applied to infrastructure and platforms.

By operational model I mean two things: 1) a highly automated backend  
[intentionally left fuzzy here] and 2) a self-service frontend.  
Whereby self-service I mean: on-demand (get it when you want it), pay- 
as-you-go (utility charge model), and use-only-what-you-need (no  
contracts). Both of the latter will also apply behind the firewall.

I think it's dangerous to over-define cloud. Cloud is more of a mass  
epiphany about our relationship to the Internet than anything else.
