We also sometimes use the terms *client* and *consumer* to refer to the cloud consumer, and *service* or simply *"cloud"* to describe the provider.

We abstract the resources from the underlying physical infrastructure to create our pools, and use orchestration (and automation) to coordinate carving out and delivering a set of resources from the pools to the consumers. As you will see, these two techniques create all the emergent characteristics we use to define something as a "cloud".
