        <doap:description>&lt;p&gt;Cloud computing means Internet (&amp;#8216;Cloud&amp;#8217;) based development and use of computer technology (&amp;#8216;Computing&amp;#8217;). It is a style of computing where IT-related capabilities are provided “as a service”, allowing users to access technology-enabled services &amp;#8220;in the cloud&amp;#8221; without knowledge of, expertise with, or control over the technology infrastructure that supports them. It is a general concept that incorporates software as a service, Web 2.0 and other recent, well-known technology trends, where the common theme is reliance on the Internet for satisfying the computing needs of the users. For example, Google Apps provides common business applications online that are accessed from a web browser, while the software and data is stored on the servers.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Cloud computing is often confused with grid computing (a form of distributed computing whereby a &amp;#8220;super and virtual computer&amp;#8221; is composed of a cluster of networked, loosely-coupled computers, acting in concert to perform very large tasks), utility computing (the packaging of computing resources, such as computation and storage, as a metered service similar to a traditional public utility such as electricity) and autonomic computing (computer systems capable of self-management). Indeed many cloud computing deployments are today powered by grids, have autonomic characteristics and are billed like utilities, but cloud computing is rather a natural next step from the grid-utility model. Some successful cloud architectures have little or no centralised infrastructure or billing systems whatsoever including Peer to peer networks like BitTorrent and Skype and Volunteer computing like &lt;span class="caps"&gt;SETI&lt;/span&gt;@home.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;The majority of cloud computing infrastructure currently consists of reliable services delivered through next-generation data centers that are built on compute and storage virtualization technologies. The services are accessible anywhere in the world, with The Cloud appearing as a single point of access for all the computing needs of consumers. Commercial offerings need to meet the quality of service requirements of customers and typically offer service level agreements. Open standards and open source software are also critical to the growth of cloud computing.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;As customers generally do not own the infrastructure, they are merely accessing or renting, they can forego capital expenditure and consume resources as a service, paying instead for what they use. Many cloud computing offerings have adopted the utility computing model which is analogous to how traditional utilities like electricity are consumed, while others are billed on a subscription basis. By sharing &amp;#8220;perishable and intangible&amp;#8221; computing power between multiple tenants, utilization rates can be improved (as servers are not left idle) which can reduce costs significantly while increasing the speed of application development. A side effect of this approach is that &amp;#8220;computer capacity rises dramatically&amp;#8221; as customers do not have to engineer for peak loads&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href="#fn8"&gt;8&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;. Adoption has been enabled by &amp;#8220;increased high-speed bandwidth&amp;#8221; which makes it possible to receive the same response times from centralized infrastructure at other sites.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;The cloud computing &amp;#8220;revolution&amp;#8221; is being driven by companies like Amazon, Google, Salesforce and Yahoo! as well as traditional vendors including Hewlett Packard, &lt;span class="caps"&gt;IBM&lt;/span&gt;, Intel and Microsoft and adopted by individuals through large enterprises including General Electric, L&amp;#8217;Oréal, Procter &amp;#38; Gamble and Valeo.&lt;/p&gt;

            <doap:name>cush</doap:name>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Cloud User Shell (cush) is a multi-call executable (like BusyBox) that combines many useful cloud computing utilities into a single utility, bringing cushy, RESTful cloud control to the command line.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;It follows Unix principles, seamlessly blending cloud resources into existing working environments. In addition to bringing basic &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HTTP&lt;/span&gt; verbs (get, put, post, delete) to the shell, it allows URLs to be &amp;#8216;dereferenced&amp;#8217; and software pipelines of server side software to be created.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Most people will create a link to cush for each function they wish to use and cush will act like whatever it was invoked as, but it can also be called directly and passed the command as the first parameter.&lt;/p&gt;
