Full title and description
GOST 33468-2015 — "Information technology. Cloud computing. Terms and definitions" (transliterated title). This Russian national standard defines terminology, basic concepts and definitions used in the field of cloud computing to ensure a common understanding among practitioners, policymakers and organizations implementing cloud services and solutions.
Abstract
This standard establishes a unified set of terms and definitions for cloud computing and related concepts (such as cloud service models, deployment models, service actors, and basic service characteristics). Its purpose is to harmonize language in documentation, contracts, technical specifications and education to reduce ambiguity when designing, procuring and using cloud services in Russia.

Scope
GOST 33468-2015 covers terms and definitions related to cloud computing, including service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), deployment models (public, private, hybrid, community), actors (cloud consumer, provider, broker, auditor), essential characteristics of cloud services (on-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity, measured service), and related concepts such as virtualization, multitenancy and service-level agreements. The standard is intended for use in documentation, contracts, education and technical communication within organizations and projects that deal with cloud computing.
Key topics and requirements
- Standardized terminology for cloud computing concepts and actors.
- Definitions of cloud service models: infrastructure, platform and software as a service.
- Definitions of deployment models: public, private, hybrid and community clouds.
- Descriptions of essential characteristics of cloud services (e.g., on-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity, measured service).
- Clarification of roles such as cloud consumer, cloud provider, cloud broker, cloud auditor and cloud carrier.
- Terms related to virtualization, multitenancy, service catalog, SLA and service instance.
- Guidance to ensure consistent use of terms in technical specifications, tender documents and contracts.
Typical use and users
This terminology standard is used by IT architects, cloud service providers, procurement specialists, legal teams drafting cloud contracts, auditors, educators and government bodies involved in digital transformation. It is useful when preparing specifications, compliance documents, service catalogs, teaching materials and when aligning terminology across organizations implementing or consuming cloud services.
Related standards
GOST 33468-2015 complements other national and international standards and guidance on cloud computing and IT service management, such as ISO/IEC standards on cloud computing terminology and service models, and standards on information security, data protection and IT service management (e.g., ISO/IEC 17788, ISO/IEC 17789, ISO/IEC 27001 family). It also aligns with other GOST and regional documents that address cloud service procurement, security and interoperability.
