Example domain paragraphs

Realizing the full potential of virtualized computation—the cloud—requires rethinking software development. Deployment decisions, and their validation, can and should be moved up the development chain into the design phase.

The elasticity of software executed in the cloud gives designers control over the execution environment’s resource parameters, such as the number and kind of processors, memory, storage capacity, and bandwidth. Parameters can even be changed dynamically at run time. Thus, cloud-service clients can not only deploy and run software, but they can also fully control the tradeoffs between incurred costs to run the software and the quality of service (QoS) delivered.
