The NIST Cloud Computing Reference Architecture provides a taxonomy and reference model to standardize cloud computing and accelerate its adoption by the US federal government. It defines three service models - SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS - and five essential cloud characteristics. The reference architecture depicts the conceptual relationships between cloud consumers, providers, brokers, auditors and carriers to establish a common framework for cloud services.
