Cloud computing may be the fastest-growing segments in information technology today\u2014Gartner<\/a> predicts that IT spending on the cloud will increase 32.8 percent in the next year alone, and many of the world\u2019s largest<\/a> tech<\/a> companies<\/a> are fighting for their share of that growth.<\/p>\n

But with new technology comes new terminology and\u00a0since the IT community isn\u2019t exactly known for clarity and plain English, that means lots of jargon.<\/p>\n

There is a seemingly endless torrent of new terminology surrounding the cloud\u2014the terms and acronyms just keep piling up. First, we had PaaS, SaaS, IaaS, APIs, and VMs, now we have containers, DevOps, and Big Data\u2014it can all get a little dizzying, and you can rarely find an explanation that doesn\u2019t reference another half dozen ciphered terms.<\/p>\n

Here at Solutions Review, we do our best to provide IT professionals with the top cloud best practices<\/a>, news<\/a>, and buyer\u2019s guides<\/a>, and in keeping with that mission, we also provide a quick and easy way to decipher the growing collection of cloud terminology: The Solutions Review Cloud Glossary<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since its launch, The Cloud Glossary has quickly become one of the most popular resources on our site, and now, two months later, I\u2019m happy to introduce the first update to the Cloud Glossary.<\/p>\n

In this first update, we\u2019ve added 20 new definitions for a wide range of concepts and products, including hot topics such as DevOps, Micro services, and Big Data. This update brings the total number of definitions to 71, making our cloud glossary one of the largest, most in-depth free and vendor-neutral resources available.<\/p>\n

The following 20 terms have been added to the updated glossary:<\/p>\n
