Cloud If the air becomes more unstable, the cloud tends to grow vertically into the species "mediocris", then "congestus", the tallest cumulus species which is the same type that the International Civil Aviation Organization refers to as 'towering cumulus'. With highly unstable atmospheric conditions, large cumulus may continue to grow into cumulonimbus "calvus" (essentially a very tall congestus cloud that produces thunder), then ultimately into the species "capillatus" when supercooled water droplets at the top of the cloud turn into ice crystals giving it a cirriform appearance. All cloud varieties fall into one of two main groups. One group identifies the
Cloud computing issues Three types of vendor lock-in can occur with cloud computing: Heterogeneous cloud computing is described as a type of cloud environment that prevents vendor lock-in, and aligns with enterprise data centers that are operating hybrid cloud models. The absence of vendor lock-in lets cloud administrators select his or her choice of hypervisors for specific tasks, or to deploy virtualized infrastructures to other enterprises without the need to consider the flavor of hypervisor in the other enterprise. A heterogeneous cloud is considered one that includes on-premises private clouds, public clouds and software-as-a-service clouds. Heterogeneous clouds can work with environments that are
