The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) defines cloud computing as "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." It's a mouthful, but thoroughly understanding your organization's needs will make that "minimal management effort" part a whole lot easier; ultimately making you an invaluable asset to your company. In this video, CBT Nuggets trainers Bart Castle (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaCZnknpM1TpUnJHl0fv0OA) and Jeff Kish (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJnFX-ObkpICeqnOitdRLoQ) discuss some of the common considerations when implementing a cloud computing solution, such as: cost, deployment, reliability, configurability, compliance, and security.
