Framework and requirements for cloud computing 1

• ITU-T Y.3507: This Recommendation provides the functional requirements of the physical machine
for cloud computing based on cloud computing infrastructure requirements in [ITU-T Y.3510]. It
addresses the following subjects: (i) overview of the physical machine; (ii) functional requirements
of the physical machine. The functional requirements provided in this Recommendation are derived
from use cases.

• ITU-T Y.3506: Cloud service brokerage is a service that arbitrates, delivers and manages cloud
services provided by cloud service providers for cloud service customers. This Recommendation
provides the functional requirements of cloud service brokerage. To provide functional
requirements for cloud service brokerage, this Recommendation specifies an overview and includes
a service model and configuration of cloud service brokerage. Various use cases are also identified
to derive the functional requirements.

• ITU-T Y.MLaaS-reqts: This Recommendation provides cloud computing requirements for machine
learning as a service, which addresses capabilities, and requirements from use cases. Machine
learning as a service (MLaaS) is a cloud service category to support the development and
applications of machine learning in the cloud computing environments. On the perspective of cloud
computing service provisioning, this Recommendation defines the capabilities and functional
requirements for MLaaS to identify functionalities such as data gathering, machine learning
modelling and computing resources, etc. This is fundamentally aligned with the cloud computing
reference architecture of [ITU-T Y.3502].
NOTE – Developments of machine learning algorithms and methodology are out of the scope of this
Recommendation.

– ITU-T Y.BaaS-reqts: Recommendation ITU-T Y. BaaS-reqts provides the functional requirements for
blockchain as a service (BaaS) in the cloud computing environment. Blockchain technologies use
decentralized, shared, immutable ledgers to store data and record transactions history, by which
the trust, accountability, transparency and efficiency can be achieved. Blockchain technologies
include p2p networking, consensus mechanism, smart contract and cipher algorithms, which are
now driving various emerging applications across a wide range, such as digital cryptocurrency,
finance, insurance, banking, healthcare, government, manufacturing, retail, legal, media and
entertainment, supply chain and logistics, accounting, notarization and certification.
