NIST Cloud Computing Program Goal
• Acelerate the federal government’s secure adoption of cloud computing
– Build a USG Cloud Computing Standards Roadmap which focuses on the highest priority USG cloud computing security, interoperability and portability requirements
– Lead efforts to develop standards and guidelines in close consultation and collaboration with standards bodies, the private sector, and other stakeholders

NIST CC efforts• SDO submissions &
support
• Guidance – Special Publications; technical advisor to Fed CIO Council
• Standards Acceleration to Jumpstart the Adoption of Cloud Computing (SAJACC) -- through qualitative testing of specifications against interoperability, security, and portability requirements
• Complex Computing Simulation & Modeling – Koala IaaS resource allocation algorithms
Beneficial bi-product: Identify priorities for hand-off to other stakeholders – policy makers, prototypes, pilots, R&D organizations
