paradigma, mis võimaldab võrgu kaudu nõudmisel selve tagamise ja haldusega juurdepääsu füüsiliste või virtuaalsete ressursside mastabeeritavale ja elastsele ühisfondile,
(i) ressurssideks on näiteks serverid, operatsioonisüsteemid, võrgud, tarkvara, rakendused ja salvestid
(ii) selve tagamine tähendab pilvteenustele ressursside andmist, mida teeb pilvteenuse klient automaatvahenditega
