Cloud Computing Glossary

From virtualization to containerization to serverless, elevate your understanding of modern cloud architectures.

Workflows as Code

Defining and managing complex business processes using code in cloud environments.

Workload Placement Optimization

Techniques for efficiently distributing applications and data across cloud resources.

Workload Portability

Ability to move applications and data between different cloud environments with minimal modifications.

Workload-Aware Data Placement

Optimizing data storage location based on application requirements in cloud environments.

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)

Security model that requires strict identity verification for every person and device accessing cloud resources.

Zero Trust Security Model

Approach assuming no automatic trust, requiring continuous verification in cloud environments.

Zero UI Cloud Interactions

Interfacing with cloud services through ambient intelligence, without traditional user interfaces.

Zero-Knowledge Proof Services

Cloud-based cryptographic methods allowing data verification without revealing the data itself.

Zero-Knowledge Proof Systems

Cryptographic protocols enabling data verification without disclosing the actual data in cloud environments.

Zero-Trust Microsegmentation

Fine-grained network segmentation approach in cloud environments, limiting lateral movement of threats.

Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA)

Security framework requiring strict authentication and authorization for all cloud network access.

Zoned Namespaces (ZNS) SSDs

Storage devices optimized for cloud workloads, improving performance and reducing write amplification.

eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter)

Technology for running sandboxed programs in the Linux kernel, often used in cloud environments.

eBPF-based Networking

Using eBPF technology to enhance network performance and security in cloud environments.
