More and more enterprise are choosing to host their workloads here rather than invest in their own computing infrastructure. Benefits that drive global cloud adoption include:  \n Reduced upfront capital costs  \n Scalability  \n Security  \n Compliance and operational support  \nThe 2020 IDG Cloud Computing Survey noted that at least 92% of enterprises are ‘somewhat’ on the cloud, while the Flexera 2021 State of the Cloud Report stated that 90% of enterprises expect cloud usage to exceed prior plans due to the global pandemic.  \nBut what does this mean for roles involved in managing tech services? Will the same traditional roles apply, or will we see a whole reworking of the organizational chart to fit the capabilities that the cloud gives?  \nLet’s look at this in detail.  \nNIST cloud computing roles  \nSome ten years ago, a team at the National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST) developed a generic high-level cloud computing reference architecture that listed five actors involved in cloud computing.  \nNIST cloud computing reference model  \nThe five actors, as defined in the reference model, are:  \n1. Cloud Consumer is a person or organization that maintains a business relationship with, and uses service from, cloud providers. Anyone who purchases a cloud service is a consumer, and within the consumer there could be an array of roles responsible for configuring and managing the resources from the cloud provider depending on the services obtained.  \n2. Cloud Provider is a person, organization, or entity responsible for making a service available to interested parties. A cloud provider would have a significant number of roles responsible for the management of its cloud resources including those responsible for selling, onboarding, configuring and supporting cloud services for its consumers.  \n3. Cloud Auditor is a party that can conduct independent assessment of cloud services, information system operations, performance, and security of the cloud implementation. Generally, cloud auditors are categorized based on intent. For the most part, their focus is on risk and compliance, especially around information security. Other auditors can provide advisory services especially to consumers looking to cut down their bills or raise the level of efficiency in the resources consumed.  \n4. Cloud Broker is any entity that manages the use, performance, and delivery of cloud services, and negotiates relationships between Cloud Providers and Cloud Consumers. Cloud brokers support consumers to get value for money by playing the advisory role especially for consumers who have a hybrid mix of resources from multiple providers.  \n5. Cloud Carrier is an intermediary that provides connectivity and transport of cloud services from Cloud Providers to Cloud Consumers. Most ISPs have taken the role of cloud carriers as they provide the requisite bandwidth needed to connect consumers with providers as well as capabilities that support the connectivity.  \nThese roles clarify expectations around cloud usage—but they probably don’t match the “cloud roles” that your hiring team is recruiting for.  \nJOB ROLES IN THE CLOUD COMPUTING AGE  \nOf course, job titles in cloud computing vary widely. Still, several roles stand out for cloud providers as well as consumers who have purchased IaaS or PaaS services.  \nThe most common roles as listed by AWS include:  \nCloud Solution Architect  \nThis role is one of the hottest jobs in the cloud market. A cloud solution architecture is responsible for working with the business and technology teams to design the right architecture and services that will support the organization’s strategy.  \nThe focus of this role is technical in nature. But, due to the need to understand various cloud platforms and their configurations, this role is highly people centric as it involves:  \n1. Understanding business needs  \n2. Translating them into the right architecture and sol","cbCaihSyj9NtXNIX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihSyj9NtXNIX","pdf",315871,"English","# NIST cloud computing roles\n## Five actors in the reference model\n# Job roles in the cloud computing age\n## Common roles listed by AWS","[{\"question\":\"What are the five actors in NIST’s cloud computing reference model?\",\"answer\":\"NIST defines five actors: Cloud Consumer, Cloud Provider, Cloud Auditor, Cloud Broker, and Cloud Carrier.
