2.1 Architectural Components
Figure 1 is a complete reference architecture for cloud computing. It is important to note that the figure represents an end-to-end reference architecture that addresses all the seven layers of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model, and extends to include the business, commercial, and governance aspects (Ramachandra, Iftikhar, & Khan, 2017).
