Cloud and Edge Computing

Use case and functional requirements for Inter-Cloud Computing (The Global Inter-Cloud Technology Forum is discontinued).

ISO/IEC 17789:2014 specifies the cloud computing reference architecture (CCRA). The reference architecture includes the cloud computing roles, cloud computing activities, and the cloud computing functional components and their relationships.

ISO/IEC 18384-1:2016 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 18384-2:2016 describes a Reference Architecture for SOA Solutions which applies to functional design, performance, development, deployment and management of SOA Solutions. It includes a domain-independent framework, addressing functional requirements and non-functional requirements, as well as capabilities and best practices to support those requirements.

ISO/IEC 18384-3:2016 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.

ISO/IEC 18384-2 describes a Reference Architecture for SOA Solutions which applies to functional design, performance, development, deployment and management of SOA Solutions. It includes a domain-independent framework, addressing functional requirements and non-functional requirements, as well as capabilities and best practices to support those requirements.

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 present document specifies the interfaces used for acceleration resource management on the Nf-Vi reference point of the NFV MANO framework, as well as the information elements exchanged over those interfaces.

Given the longstanding and fervent belief in the value for incident sharing, new advancements in enabling technology, and the promising shifts in the legal landscape, the Cloud Security Alliance believes now is the time to act. For this reason we introduce the Cloud Cyber Incident Sharing Center or Cloud-CISC.

From a user perspective, Cloud is a service. However, for Cloud Service Providers, integrators and channel partners who construct or build the Cloud, the Cloud architecture is comprised of many Cloud computing components. Examples of these components are hypervisors, Cloud operating systems components such as “Swift”, “Glance” for OpenStack, virtual desktop infrastructure platforms, cloud dedicated firewalls and so on. How can we evaluate the security of these Cloud components? Currently, most of the security standards related to Cloud Computing focus on the information security management system. However, these standards are insufficient to evaluate cloud component security because they focus on management security rather than the technical security requirements of the components. In order to address this gap, the Cloud Component Specifications working group proposes to develop internationally recognized technical security specifications for cloud components.

The Cloud Key Management Working Group aims to facilitate the standards for seamless integration between CSPs and key broker services. Standardization will take place across key management lifecycle operations and a common set of APIs, enabling consistent implementation of enterprise key policies. Customer-centric in principle, the goal will be for data stored or traversing the cloud and requiring encryption the corresponding encryption keys will be protected and their lifecycle managed by the customer. The purpose of the Cloud Key Management Working Group is to align cloud key management interoperability standards across service providers, maintain and develop API and key interoperability specifications, develop business model templates and specifications for standardized key interoperability, promote the adoption of key management standards and key brokering interoperability, and provide well documented guidelines and a standard approach to vendors to ensure seamless interoperability and compliance to those guidelines/standards.

The present document specifies common aspects of RESTful protocols and data models for ETSI NFV management and orchestration (MANO) interfaces.
