* Broad network access: "Capabilities are available over the network and accessed through standard mechanisms that promote use by heterogeneous thin or thick client platforms (e.g., mobile phones, tablets, [[laptop]]s, and workstations)."

* [[Pooling (resource management)|Resource pooling]]: " The provider's computing resources are pooled to serve multiple consumers using a multi-tenant model, with different physical and virtual resources dynamically assigned and reassigned according to consumer demand."

* Rapid elasticity: "Capabilities“Capabilities can be elastically provisioned and released, in some cases automatically, to scale rapidly outward and inward commensuratein accordance with demand. To the consumer, the capabilities available for provisioning often appear unlimited and can be appropriated in any quantity at any time."”

* Measured service: "Cloud systems automatically control and optimize resource use by leveraging a metering capability at some level of abstraction appropriate to the type of service (e.g., storage, processing, bandwidth, and active user accounts). Resource usage can be monitored, controlled, and reported, providing transparency for both the provider and consumer of the utilized service.

By 2023, the [[International Organization for Standardization]] (ISO) had expanded and refined the list.<ref name=":1" />
