Draft new Recommendation ITU-T Y.MLaaS-reqts: "Cloud computing- functional requirements for machine learning as a service"

Draft new Recommendation ITU-T Y.BaaS-reqts: Cloud computing - functional requirements for blockchain as a service

The purpose of this Recommendation is to describe the overview of multi-cloud and the functional requirements of cloud service partner for supporting multi-cloud by identifying the various use cases related with usage of multi-cloud in terms of cloud service customer, cloud service provider and cloud service partner. It also provides the cloud computing activities to support multi-cloud as sub-role of cloud service partner by identifying the relationships and interactions among cloud service customer, cloud service provider and other cloud service partner.

This Recommendation specifies the overview and requirements of containers. The scope of this recommendation includes: " Overview of container concept including characteristics, Comparison between containers and VM, and Relationship between containers and VM; " Requirements of containers ; " Use cases of containers.

This Recommendation provides functional framework and requirements for cloud computing maturity. It introduces the overview of cloud computing maturity and identifies the cloud computing maturity model including cloud customer management module, cloud resource management module, cloud service management module and cloud security management module. Additionally, this Recommendation provides cloud computing maturity requirements derived from use cases.

Recommendation ITU-T Y.3508 provides an overview and high-level requirements for distributed cloud. This Recommendation introduces the concept of the distributed cloud and identifies the characteristics of distributed cloud. Based on concept and characteristics, configuration models are illustrated. Deployment considerations of distributed cloud are provided in perspective of infrastructure, network, service, management and security. From use cases, high-level requirements of the distributed cloud are derived.

Recommendation ITU-T Q.4041.1 specifies the cloud computing infrastructure capabilities type interoperability testing between the CSC and CSP, including interoperability testing of computing services, storage services, network services and related management functions, based on the functional requirements specified in Recommendation ITU-T Y.3513. The test cases of cloud computing infrastructure capabilities type interoperability testing between the CSC and CSP have also been introduced.

This Recommendation describes functional architecture for cloud service brokerage (CSB). To provide the functional architecture for CSB, the CSB functions based on configurations which have been identified in [ITU-T Y.3506] are introduced. This Recommendation also provides the relationship between the CSB functional architecture and the cloud computing reference architecture in [ITU-T Y.3502].

Recommendation ITU-T F.743.8 specifies the requirements for a cloud computing platform supporting visual surveillance. Cloud computing is an emerging technology aimed at providing various computing services over the Internet. Using virtualization technology, a cloud computing platform realizes a ubiquitous and flexible shared resources pool that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service-provider interaction based on the needs of users. By using the cloud computing technology, the visual surveillance system can conveniently manage various functional components and services, such as video distribution, video transcoding and intelligent video processing. This Recommendation provides the application scenarios and requirements for a cloud computing platform supporting a visual surveillance system.

This Recommendation provides a cloud computing framework by identifying high-level requirements for cloud computing. The Recommendation addresses the general requirements and use cases for:  – Cloud computing; – Infrastructure as a service (IaaS), network as a service (NaaS), desktop as a service (DaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), communication as a service (CaaS) and big data as a service (BDaaS); – Inter-cloud computing, end-to-end cloud computing management, trusted cloud service, and cloud infrastructure. This Recommendation addresses a set of use cases and related requirements which are included in Appendix I. Appendix II provides information on the methodology and edition plan of this Recommendation.

Recommendation ITU-T H.626.2 defines a cloud storage architecture in visual surveillance. Cloud storage enables the service users to have ubiquitous, convenient and on-demand network access to a shared pool of the configurable storage resources, which can be rapidly provisioned and released with the minimal management effort or service-provider interaction. Cloud storage can realize flexible and reliable data storage for large-scale visual surveillance and its components are modularized and allocated dynamically based on the real usage. This Recommendation provides the architecture, entities, reference points and service control flow for cloud storage in visual surveillance.

Recommendation ITU-T X.1603 analyses data security requirements for the monitoring service of cloud computing which includes monitoring data scope requirements, monitoring data lifecycle, security requirements of monitoring data acquisition and security requirements of monitoring data storage. Monitoring data scope requirements include the necessary monitoring scope that cloud service providers (CSPs) should provide to maintain cloud security and the biggest monitoring scope of CSPs. Monitoring data lifecycle includes data creation, data store, data use, data migrate, data present, data destroy and data backup. Monitoring acquisition determines security requirements of the acquisition techniques of monitoring service. Monitoring data storage determines security requirements for CSPs to store the monitoring data.
