Standards Development
This document provides normative definitions of terms related to cloud computing technology platforms; a description of the concepts of platform capabilities type as it appears in various cloud service categories; a description of the specific cloud service category of platform as a service (PaaS); descriptions of common platform architectures, development approaches, and life cycles of elements of platform services; together with recommendations for CSPs offering cloud services that include platform capabilities, including but not limited to PaaS.
Cloud services that include platform capabilities such as the execution of customer provided software code are increasing in market adoption and importance. However, there is no current international standard meaning for some of these concepts and terms.
This document will assist organisations to:
1. Clarify the international standard meanings of “platform capabilities type” and “Platform as a Service” beyond the basic definitions in ISO/IEC 22123;
2. Use common and consistent terminology to refer to core aspects of different cloud platform technology services;
3. Understand the various technology platform concepts, architectures, and choices that are available to them;
4. Understand some reasonable expectations and recommendations for CSPs such as accessibility and transparency of service offerings
