[NIST SAJACC Internal Group Report] – SAJACC working group recommendations to NIST
This document describes the work done by the SAJACC working group so far, which has resulted in a set of
preliminary use cases developed for the first pass through the SAJACC process and a set of initial
demonstration validation evaluations. Through a series of open workshops, and through public comment and
feedback, NIST will continue to refine these use cases and add new use cases as appropriate.

[NIST SAJACC White Paper] – Virtual machine portability white paper
This white paper describes the current technologies, formats and tools that support virtual machine (VM)
portability. It identifies challenges and opportunities for further improvements to interoperability, and
presents a high-level summary of key VM portability problems faced by cloud consumers today.
[NIST SP 800-145] – The NIST Definition of Cloud Computing

The NIST definition characterizes important aspects of cloud computing and is intended to serve as a means
for broad comparisons of cloud services and deployment strategies, and to provide a baseline for discussion
from what is cloud computing to how to best use cloud computing. The service and deployment models
defined form a simple taxonomy that is not intended to prescribe or constrain any particular method of
deployment, service delivery or business operation.

[NIST SP 500-292] – NIST Cloud Computing Reference Architecture
This document presents the NIST cloud computing reference architecture (RA) and taxonomy (Tax) that will
accurately communicate the components and offerings of cloud computing. The guiding principles used to
create the RA were 1) develop a vendor-neutral architecture that is consistent with the NIST definition and
2) develop a solution that does not stifle innovation by defining a prescribed technical solution.

High-Priority Requirements to Further USG Agency Cloud Computing Adoption
Volume I to the US Government Cloud Computing Technology Roadmap, an interagency document
developed to foster adoption of cloud computing by federal agencies and supports the private sector, and
reduces uncertainty by improving the information available to decision.
[NIST SP 500-293vol2] – US Government Cloud Computing Technology Roadmap Volume II Release 1.0:
Useful Information for Cloud Adopters
Volume I to the US Government Cloud Computing Technology Roadmap, an interagency document
developed to foster adoption of cloud computing by federal agencies and supports the private sector, and
reduces uncertainty by improving the information available to decision.
