The reference architecture summaries presented in this chapter are meant to be starting points for your solution design. They outline the minimum components and processes to address the topic requirement but do not recommend specific technologies or cloud vendor solutions. They also cannot possibly address any unique organizational requirements or concerns. Real, deployable solutions require the addition of actual enterprise requirements, a solution architect's insight, modifications driven by the selected cloud service provider, and organizational team collaboration.
These summaries were created from complete reference architectures developed by the Cloud Standards Customer Council (CSCCTM). The CSCCTM is dedicated to accelerating the successful adoption of cloud computing. It provides users with the opportunity to drive requirements into standard development organizations and deliver materials that assist other enterprises. Complete reference architectures are available online for zero cost at http://www.cloud-council.org/resource-hub.htm.
