Cloud Definitions (NIST)

NIST has made some commonly used definitions for cloud computing.
Cloud computing = a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.

The great thing they've done is defining of what components cloud models may be built.
