I’m beginning to flesh out my ideas for the NERCOMP presentation proposal I’m considering. To do that I needed to think about what it is that I would want to cover. I always feel its important to start off with a definition so that everyone is on the same page as to what it is that is being discussed. Below is a presentation I created with a brief definition of cloud computing.
To be fair, the definition of cloud computing is in flux and not always agreed upon. In the second slide, I borrowed from NIST’s working definition of cloud computing. This is the generally agreed upon definition (although some of the “finer” points are still up for debate…for a better, more entertaining discussion of this see Simon Wardley’s OSCON Presentation on YouTube)
I would love to hear any feedback you might have on this brief definition/presentation. Any comments you have will help me give a better presenation in the long run.
This is really nice article and very well explained in five slides
