What The NIST Definition of Cloud Computing (SP 800-145) requires
This foundational U.S. federal standard establishes the official definition of cloud computing, mandating that any service classified as 'cloud' must exhibit five essential characteristics (e.g., on-demand self-service), fit one of three service models (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS), and one of four deployment models (Private, Community, Public, Hybrid), as detailed in Section 2.
