This article discusses a recent document released by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).  

As the article states, "National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the lead technical agency for theUS government, has released a new cloud computing roadmap and reference architecture. The documents will help federal agencies understand the standards they should use when deploying clouds, as well as the different categories of cloud services that can be used by governments.

The NIST Cloud Computing Standards Roadmap includes a standards inventory which covers standards for key features of deploying a cloud computing architecture, such as security, portability, and interoperability. It also identifies models and cases that are relevant to cloud computing and identifies standardisation priorities for the federal government in the areas of security auditing and compliance, identity and access management."

A link to the roadmap is provided in the article. The article further states, "The agency expects to release a comprehensive NISTUS Government Cloud Computing Technology Roadmap in November."
