5. National Institute of Standards and Technology Information Technology Laboratory insert image of roadmap volume I cover sheet here Revisiting the rationale -- Why a USG Cloud Computing Technology Roadmap, and why is it structured as it is ….? The technology roadmap initiative and document are intended to in parallel help us move forward strategically and tactically …. Strategic roadmap is basically a priority list – what do we need to get from where we are to where we want to be Mechanism to integrate and present analysis, findings, and useful technical work mechanism to focus discussion in order to more definitively achieve a common understanding between USG & private sector on technical steps to move forward Calibration point -- basis to assess & plan NIST Cloud Computing priorities

6. National Institute of Standards and Technology Information Technology Laboratory insert image of roadmap volume I cover sheet here The USG Cloud Computing Technology Roadmap in final form will have 3 volumes…Volumes I & II are released as Draft Special Publication 500-293 for public comment; Volume III is a working document …. all are available online Volume I, High-Priority Requirements to Further USG Agency Cloud Computing Adoption, frames the discussion and introduces the roadmap - STRATEGIC Volume II, Useful Information for Cloud Adopters, is a technical reference for those actively working on cloud computing initiatives – STRATEGIC & TACTICAL Third volume, Technical Considerations for USG Cloud Computing Deployment Decisions – TACTICAL explains how Volume II work can be applied initiated in parallel with but dependent on Volume II -- will be part of the 500-293 SP All are publically available at http://www.nist.gov/itl/cloud/index.cfm

7. National Institute of Standards and Technology Information Technology Laboratory insert image of roadmap volume I cover sheet here Volume I - Highlights Overview - USG Cloud Computing Technology Roadmap initiative Core Elements: Prioritized strategic and tactical interoperability, portability, and security requirements that must be met for USG agencies to further cloud adoption; Standards, guidelines, and technology needed to satisfy these requirements; Recommended list of Priority Action Plans (PAPs) -- candidates for voluntary self-tasking by the stakeholder community. USG Cloud Computing Technology Roadmap requirements - high priorities to further USG Cloud Computing Technology Adoption: Requirement 1: International voluntary consensus based interoperability, portability and security standards (interoperability, portability, and security standards) Requirement 2: Solutions for high priority Security Requirements (security technology) Requirement 3: Technical specifications to enable development of consistent, high quality Service Level Agreements (interoperability, portability, and security standards and guidance) Requirement 4: Clearly and consistently categorized cloud services (interoperability and portability guidance and technology) Requirement 5: Frameworks to support seamless implementation of federated community cloud environments (interoperability and portability guidance and technology) Requirement 6: Technical security solutions which are de-coupled from organizational policy decisions (security guidance, standards and technology) Requirement 7: Defined unique government regulatory requirements, technology gaps, and solutions (interoperability, portability and security technology) Requirement 8: Collaborative parallel strategic “future cloud” development initiatives (interoperability, portability, and security technology) Requirement 9: Defined and implemented reliability design goals (interoperability, portability, and security technology) Requirement 10: Defined and implemented cloud service metrics (interoperability and portability standards)

National Institute of Standards and Technology Information Technology Laboratory insert image of roadmap volume I cover sheet here Working Document to be developed thru collaborative process (Volume 3 of SP 500-293) Technical Considerations for USG Cloud Computing Deployment Decisions builds on the first two volumes released as SPs concurrently with this working paper FOR: technical teams responsible Cloud Computing projects GOAL: inform in terms of questions and decision factors in the context of representative Cloud Computing use cases DESCRIBES HOW: to use Volume II work completed 2010 – 2011 in the context of Federal Cloud Computing Strategy Decision Framework for Cloud Adoption

10. National Institute of Standards and Technology Information Technology Laboratory insert image of roadmap volume I cover sheet here Intent is to lay the groundwork to more directly tackle a subset of cloud computing technology scope to accelerate USG cloud adoption The “roadmap” is intended to foster a substantive discussion among cloud computing stakeholders in government and the private sector Many requirements identified in the roadmap are intuitive – roadmap significance is the November 2010–October 2011 time frame technical work to identify a definitive priority list and assess the extent to which they are satisfied. Ideally, responses to the roadmap will refine the requirements and identify relevant work which is under way 30 Day comment period for SP 500-293 In addition, public working groups will resume for all work related to the roadmap -- Back to Framing the Discussion -- underlying principles and assumptions http://collaborate.nist.gov/twiki-cloud-computing/bin/view/CloudComputing/WebHome Written comments on both volumes of the SP 500-293 may be sent to: Robert Bohn, National Institute of Standards and Technology, 100 Bureau Dr., Stop 2000, Gaithersburg, MD 20899-2000.
