Cloud (CAT-MIP-000000101)

Accepted • 2025-09-19 • by nicole

Definition

Cloud refers to infrastructure, platforms, or services hosted in a remote, internet- accessible environment rather than on-premises. 'Cloud' is typically used to describe: cloud-native products (e.g., Cove, Cloud Commander); third-party integrations with public cloud providers (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP); and the hosting location or operational model for managed assets, policies, or storage. Because the term is broad, it should be accompanied by a qualifier (e.g., Cloud Backup, Cloud Integration, Cloud Device) to ensure clarity.

Prompt Examples

  • Is this customer using cloud backup?
  • List all devices managed through Cloud User Hub that belong to tenant 'BlueSteel LLC'.
  • Scan all Azure-hosted virtual machines for vulnerabilities.

Agent Execution

When a prompt includes "Cloud," the AI agent will:

  • Attempt to classify the intended meaning: Is it referencing a product (e.g., Cove)? A hosting model (e.g., AWS-based device)? A data source (e.g., cloud backup logs)?
  • Resolve actions or queries using the correct integration, platform, or cloud service context
  • Return results filtered by cloud product, provider, or hosting model
  • Validate scope: Is the object hosted in the cloud? Is it managed via a cloud product?

Synonyms

  • Cloud Service Provider (CSP)
  • Hosted Environment
  • Public Cloud (AWS, Azure, etc.)
  • SaaS Platform (when referring to hosted tools)

Relationships

  • Cloud contains Asset or Instance
  • Cloud hosts Service or Product
  • Cloud isAccessedBy Agent or User
  • Cloud isIntegratedWith ExternalVendor
  • Cloud provides Storage or Compute
