Cloud engineering

Cloud engineering is the application of engineering disciplines to cloud computing. It brings a systematic approach to concerns of commercialization, standardization, and governance of cloud computing applications. In practice, it leverages the methods and tools of engineering in conceiving, developing, operating and maintaining cloud computing systems and solutions.[1] It is about the process of designing the systems necessary to leverage the power and economics of cloud resources to solve business problems.[2]
