What are the Technical Characteristics of the Cloud?

In part two of my conversation with JP Morgenthal, director of Perficient’s cloud computing & devops practice, we focused on the technical characteristics of cloud and the five essential characteristics that are broadly adopted for what technically comprises a cloud solution. The following five characteristics are further grouped into three service models Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).
