QuestionQ264

Secure Software Architecture and Design

In its Effectively and Securely Using the Cloud Computing Paradigm presentation, the NIST ITL Cloud Research Team identifies certain primary and secondary technologies as foundational elements of cloud computing. Which of the following are included among the primary technologies? Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.

Choose two
  • A Web application framework
  • B Free and open source software
  • C SOA
  • D Virtualization
Explanation

In its presentation on cloud computing's technical foundations, the NIST ITL Cloud Research Team identifies virtualization and service-oriented architecture (SOA) as the primary enabling technologies underpinning the cloud computing paradigm, since they provide the core mechanisms for resource abstraction, pooling, and composable service delivery that define cloud computing; technologies such as free/open source software and web application frameworks are classified as secondary, supporting technologies that facilitate cloud adoption but are not themselves foundational to the cloud computing model.
