ISO/IEC TR 30102 describes the general technical principles underlying Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), including principles relating to functional design, performance, development, deployment and management. It provides a vocabulary containing definitions of terms relevant to SOA.
It includes a domain-independent technical framework, addressing functional requirements and non-functional requirements.
This document describes a framework of trust for the processing of multi-sourced data that includes data use obligations and controls, data provenance, chain of custody, security and immutable proof of compliance as elements of the framework.
This document provides guidance on the use of international standards as a tool in the development of those policies that govern or regulate cloud service providers (CSPs) and cloud services, and those policies and practices that govern the use of cloud services in organisations.
This includes material that explains cloud computing concepts and the role of cloud computing international standards in formulating policies and practices.
The document makes references to various international standards. Where possible, these standards are ISO/IEC standards. Where a suitable ISO/IEC standard is not available, references are made to documents published by other WTO-registered standards bodies.
As explained in the WTO Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), standards play a vital role in supporting technical regulations and conformity assessment, however this document does not cover matters of trade.
ISO/IEC 19944
- extends the existing cloud computing vocabulary and reference architecture in ISO/IEC 17788 and ISO/IEC 17789 to describe an ecosystem involving devices using cloud services,
- describes the various types of data flowing within the devices and cloud computing ecosystem,
- describes the impact of connected devices on the data that flow within the cloud computing ecosystem,
- describes flows of data between cloud services, cloud service customers and cloud service users,
- provides foundational concepts, including a data taxonomy, and
- identifies the categories of data that flow across the cloud service customer devices and cloud services.
ISO/IEC 19944 is applicable primarily to cloud service providers, cloud service customers and cloud service users, but also to any person or organization involved in legal, policy, technical or other implications of data flows between devices and cloud services.
ISO/IEC 19941 specifies cloud computing interoperability and portability types, the relationship and interactions between these two cross-cutting aspects of cloud computing and common terminology and concepts used to discuss interoperability and portability, particularly relating to cloud services.
ISO/IEC 19941 is related to other standards, namely, ISO/IEC 17788, ISO/IEC 17789, ISO/IEC 19086‑1, ISO/IEC 19944, and in particular, references the cross-cutting aspects and components identified in ISO/IEC 17788 and ISO/IEC 17789 respectively.
The goal of this document is to ensure that all parties involved in cloud computing, particularly CSCs, CSPs and cloud service partners (CSNs) acting as cloud service developers, have a common understanding of interoperability and portability for their specific needs. This common understanding helps to achieve interoperability and portability in cloud computing by establishing common terminology and concepts.
ISO/IEC 19086-3 specifies the core conformance requirements for service level agreements (SLAs) for cloud services based on ISO/IEC 19086‑1 and guidance on the core conformance requirements. This document is for the benefit of and use by both cloud service providers and cloud service customers.
ISO/IEC 19086-3 does not provide a standard structure that would be used for cloud SLAs.
This document establishes common terminology, defines a model for specifying metrics for cloud SLAs, and includes applications of the model with examples. This document establishes a common terminology and approach for specifying metrics.
This document is for the benefit of and use for both cloud service providers (CSPs) and cloud service customers (CSCs). This document is intended to complement ISO/IEC 19086-1, ISO/IEC 19086-3 and ISO/IEC 19086-4.
This document does not mandate the use of a specific set of metrics for cloud SLAs
ISO/IEC 19086-1 seeks to establish a set of common cloud SLA building blocks (concepts, terms, definitions, contexts) that can be used to create cloud Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
This document specifies
a) an overview of cloud SLAs,
b) identification of the relationship between the cloud service agreement and the cloud SLA,
c) concepts that can be used to build cloud SLAs, and
d) terms commonly used in cloud SLAs.
ISO/IEC 19086-1 is for the benefit and use of both cloud service providers and cloud service customers. The aim is to avoid confusion and facilitate a common understanding between cloud service providers and cloud service customers. Cloud service agreements and their associated cloud SLAs vary between cloud service providers, and in some cases different cloud service customers can negotiate different contract terms with the same cloud service provider for the same cloud service. This document aims to assist cloud service customers when they compare cloud services from different cloud service providers.
ISO/IEC 19086-1 does not provide a standard structure that can be used for a cloud SLA or a standard set of cloud service level objectives (SLOs) and cloud service qualitative objectives (SQOs) that will apply to all cloud services or all cloud service providers. This approach provides flexibility for cloud service providers in tailoring their cloud SLAs to the particular characteristics of the offered cloud services.
ISO/IEC 19086-1 does not supersede any legal requirement
ISO/IEC 18384-3 defines a formal ontology for service-oriented architecture (SOA), an architectural style that supports service orientation. The terms defined in this ontology are key terms from the vocabulary in ISO/IEC 18384-1.
The Trusted Cloud Initiative helps cloud providers develop industry-recommended, secure and interoperable identity, access and compliance management configurations, and practices. The Trusted Cloud Initiative will develop reference models and education in a vendor-neutral manner, inclusive of all CSA members and affiliates who wish to participate. The Trusted Cloud Initiative Reference Architecture is both a methodology and a set of tools that enable security architects, enterprise architects and risk management professionals to leverage a common set of solutions that fulfill their common needs to be able to assess where their internal IT and their cloud providers are in terms of security capabilities and to plan a roadmap to meet the security needs of their business.
ISO/IEC 18384-1 establishes vocabulary, guidelines, and general technical principles underlying service oriented architecture (SOA), including principles relating to functional design, performance, development, deployment, and management.
ISO/IEC 17963 describes a Web services protocol based on SOAP for use in management‑specific domains. These domains include the management of entities such as PCs, servers, devices, Web services and other applications manageable entities. Services can expose only a WS-Management interface or compose the WS-Management service interface with some of the many other Web service specifications.
A crucial application for these services is in the area of systems management. To promote interoperability between management applications and managed resources, ISO/IEC PAS 17963 identifies a core set of Web service specifications and usage requirements that expose a common set of operations central to all systems management. This includes the ability to do the following:
a) get, put (update), create, and delete individual resource instances, such as settings and dynamic values;
b) enumerate the contents of containers and collections, such as large tables and logs;
c) subscribe to events emitted by managed resources;
d) execute specific management methods with strongly typed input and output parameters.
In each of these areas of scope, ISO/IEC 17963 defines minimal implementation requirements for conformant Web service implementations. An implementation is free to extend beyond this set of operations, and to choose not to support one or more of the preceding areas of functionality if that functionality is not appropriate to the target device or system.
ISO/IEC 17963 intends to meet the following requirements:
a) constrain Web services protocols and formats so that Web services can be implemented with a small footprint in both hardware and software management services;
b) define minimum requirements for compliance without constraining richer implementations;
c) ensure backward compatibility and interoperability with WS-Management version 1.0;
d) ensure composability with other Web services specifications.
This standard has been developed by the DMTF (see also the DMTF WS-Management Standards Watch link).
