Abstract

Cloud computing is a rapidly evolving area that offers the potential for federal agencies of all sizes to increase flexibility and efficiency. With cloud computing, services and data are provided by shared computing resources in scalable data centres and are accessible over the Internet. Key advantages are that services are easily available on demand and can rapidly scale both up and down as needed. Current types of cloud service include applications (software as a service); development tools (platform as a service); and virtualized computing resources such as servers (infrastructure as a service). Virtualization may bring several advantages to the design of modern computer systems including better security, higher reliability and availability, reduced costs, better adaptability to workload variations, easier migration of virtual machines among physical machines, and easy coexistence of legacy applications.
