    4.    On-demand service: Customer purchases cloud services as needed.

 

    5.    Cloud provider: An organization that provides a cloud-based platform, infrastructure, application, or storage services to others.

 

    6.    Consumption-based: A pricing model where the service provider charges the customer based on the amount of the service the customer consumes instead of time.

 

    7.    Middleware: Software that provides a service to help pass data between applications.

 

    8.    SaaS: "Software as a service" is a cloud application service that allows applications to be delivered over the Internet by the provider.
