According to the identified target areas of testing, this framework Recommendation includes an overview of cloud computing interoperability testing with common confirmed items, infrastructure capabilities type, platform capabilities type and application capabilities type interoperability testing. This Recommendation describes the overview target areas of testing for interoperability testing of cloud computing.

The purpose of this Recommendation is to describe the overview of multi-cloud and the functional requirements of cloud service partner for supporting multi-cloud by identifying the various use cases related with usage of multi-cloud in terms of cloud service customer, cloud service provider and cloud service partner. It also provides the cloud computing activities to support multi-cloud as sub-role of cloud service partner by identifying the relationships and interactions among cloud service customer, cloud service provider and other cloud service partner.

This Recommendation specifies the overview and requirements of containers. The scope of this recommendation includes: " Overview of container concept including characteristics, Comparison between containers and VM, and Relationship between containers and VM; " Requirements of containers ; " Use cases of containers.

This Recommendation provides functional framework and requirements for cloud computing maturity. It introduces the overview of cloud computing maturity and identifies the cloud computing maturity model including cloud customer management module, cloud resource management module, cloud service management module and cloud security management module. Additionally, this Recommendation provides cloud computing maturity requirements derived from use cases.

Recommendation ITU-T Y.3508 provides an overview and high-level requirements for distributed cloud. This Recommendation introduces the concept of the distributed cloud and identifies the characteristics of distributed cloud. Based on concept and characteristics, configuration models are illustrated. Deployment considerations of distributed cloud are provided in perspective of infrastructure, network, service, management and security. From use cases, high-level requirements of the distributed cloud are derived.

This Recommendation describes functional architecture for cloud service brokerage (CSB). To provide the functional architecture for CSB, the CSB functions based on configurations which have been identified in [ITU-T Y.3506] are introduced. This Recommendation also provides the relationship between the CSB functional architecture and the cloud computing reference architecture in [ITU-T Y.3502].

This Supplement provides a summary of cloud-computing-related deliverables in ITU-T study groups (SGs) and other standards development organisations (SDOs). Also, this supplement provides a common matrix for mapping these deliverables to different cloud-related categories. With the common matrix, this supplement provides analysis for cloud-computing-related deliverables in ITU-T SGs and other SDOs.

Recommendation ITU-T F.743.8 specifies the requirements for a cloud computing platform supporting visual surveillance. Cloud computing is an emerging technology aimed at providing various computing services over the Internet. Using virtualization technology, a cloud computing platform realizes a ubiquitous and flexible shared resources pool that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service-provider interaction based on the needs of users. By using the cloud computing technology, the visual surveillance system can conveniently manage various functional components and services, such as video distribution, video transcoding and intelligent video processing. This Recommendation provides the application scenarios and requirements for a cloud computing platform supporting a visual surveillance system.

Recommendation ITU-T Y.3600 provides requirements, capabilities and use cases of cloud computing based big data as well as its system context. Cloud computing based big data provides the capabilities to collect, store, analyse, visualize and manage varieties of large volume datasets, which cannot be rapidly transferred and analysed using traditional technologies.

Draft new Recommendation ITU-T Y.MLaaS-reqts: "Cloud computing- functional requirements for machine learning as a service"

This supplement provides the standards roadmap for artificial intelligence (AI) in the information technologies. This AI standards roadmap has been developed to assist in the development of AI standards in the IT fields by providing information about existing and under developing standards in key standards development organizations (SDOs). In addition, it describes the overviews of AI itself and AI related technical areas from standards perspective, AI related activities in standards development organizations (SDOs), and gap analysis.
