| Abstract: |
Standardization coverage in cloud computing decreased from about 70% in 2006 down to 20% in 2016. Standards like OCCI and CIMI only cover a small part of relevant cloud service models. Standardization processes are slow compared with service release pace of public cloud service providers. Therefore a reference model for cloud-native applications is proposed to guide, to codify and to shortcut further standardization approaches in cloud computing. It is inspired by the OSI network model which showed successful and positive impacts on standardization processes in networks. |
