A practical guide for selecting the right cloud provider
What is Cloud? According to NIST
Page 7 Definition of Cloud According to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology http://www.nist.gov) On-demand self service Broad network access Resource pooling Rapid elasticity Measured service
On-demand self service
Page 9
Page 10 On-demand self service Is self-provisioning possible? Is auto-provisioning available? How much time is typically needed to provision additional resources ?
Broad network access
A practical guide for selecting the right cloud provider
Page 13 Broad network access Is it a redundant network connection? What is the minimum guaranteed bandwidth? What connectivity options are offered ?
Resource pooling
Page 15
Page 16 Resource pooling What are the redundancies offered on the level of the infrastructure? Backups and no data loss guarantee included (RPO & RTO)? Is the customer allowed to define the backup/restore policies applicable to his environment? How many datacenters and where are the datacenters located? Are the required certificates available? Are customers/ third parties allowed to perform and audit? Is additional isolation possible if needed ?
Rapid elasticity
Page 18
Page 19 Rapid elasticity Is automatic scaling of resources available? What are the upper resource limits (CPU cores, RAM, IO bandwidth, storage) Are there resource reconfigurations that necessitate a server reboot? What about price protection and flexibility ?
Measured service
Page 21
Page 22 Measured service How is SLA compliance measured? What billing models are available? What resource and application monitoring tools are made available ?
What else?
Page 24 What else? Is a service catalogue with pre-defined service templates available? What are the contract terms such as minimum duration, the renewal policy, termination conditions, ... What application and management APIs are made available? What exit policies? What cloud migration options are provided?
