The Next Frontier: Embracing the Cloud
summary
NASA implements a cloud instantiation at Ames and plans extension to Goddard to let engineers run early R&D models in smaller, cheaper environments instead of immediate HPC, claiming measurable cost and time savings and faster procurement under NIST attributes like on‑demand scalability and pay‑as‑you‑go. Internal tools include a Spacebook internal social network, public Facebook pages and astronaut blogs that boost collaboration. Notes vendor lock‑in risk, some applications unsuited for cloud, and security concerns that require risk‑based mitigation.
