the Internet.
Cloud Data Architect
Ensures the various storage types and mechanisms utilized within the cloud
environment meet and conform to the relevant SLAs and that the storage components
are functioning according to their specified requirements.
Cloud Developer
Focuses on development for the cloud infrastructure itself. This role can vary from client
tools or solutions engagements, through to systems components.
Cloud Enablement
The process of making available one or more of the following services and
infrastructures to create a public cloud-computing environment: cloud provider, client,
and application.
Cloud Management
Software and technologies designed for operating and monitoring the applications, data,
and services residing in the cloud. Cloud management tools help to ensure a company's
cloud computing-based resources are working optimally and properly interacting with
users and other services.
Cloud Migration
, The process of transitioning all or part of a company's data, applications, and services

Cloud Testing
Load and performance testing conducted on the applications and services provided via
cloud computing — particularly the capability to access these services — in order to
ensure optimal performance and scalability under a wide variety of conditions.
Desktop-as-a-service
