Hey Blair Now you've done it ! OK, I'll bite and have a go at categorising that a bit :
1. Multi-tenant - tenants need clear separation 2. Self service sign up - customers on board themselves 3. Some kind of charging model in place which requires resource accounting 4. API endpoints and possibly management applications presented outside of your own network Not sure that entirely works, but best I can come up with off the top of my head. For commercial public clouds we have some very specific problem spaces in common - handling credit cards and personal information, fraud prevention, commercial modelling for capacity planning etc. Is where you're going with this that some of the science clouds share some of the attributes above ?
