Abstract
This chapter presents an overview of the emerging standards for cloud interoperability and portability. In particular, here we consider efforts moving toward the definition of shared standards addressing different aspects of the cloud environment, spanning from services’ communication to data description. Among these, we consider standards like TOSCA, CIMI, OCCI, and CDMI. Some of these standards are positioned with respect to the use case scenarios and features defined in Chap. 1, and tested by analyzing their application to the case study illustrated in Chap. 1.
