What is NIST 800-145? - ANSWERNIST working definition of cloud computing.
ISO/IEC 17788 lists 6 essential cloud characteristics. Five are the same with NIST. What is the added
one? - ANSWERMutli tenancy
This is the most fundamental characteristic of Cloud. The provider abstracts resources and collects them
into a pool, portions of which can be allocated to different consumers (typically based on policies).

This meters what is provided, to ensure that consumers only use what they are allotted, and, if
necessary, to charge them for it. This is where the term utility computing comes from, since computing
resources can now be consumed like water and electricity, with the client only paying for what they use.
