CNMCyber Usable
CNM Cloud Usable (in the Russian-language version, known as Работы над Облаком) is the fourth, current, phase of the CNM Cloud Project. CNM Cloud (hereinafter - the Cloud) is a set of technologies that supports CNM Cyber. This very wikipage presents the primary list of those endeavors that are included in that phase. CNM Cyber Project Coordinators (hereinafter, the Coordinators) are invited to organize work on its endeavors.

Node clusters
- For the purposes of this wikipage, node clusters refers to clusters of nodes that are utilized or can be used to build the Farms. The four Farms are made up of clustered nodes. Each cluster must have at least one (a) DNS entry point, which for highly available Farms includes a load balancer on a public web address, (b) synchronization of resources of common individual nodes, at least databases, (c) monitoring, ( d) security, including firewalls; and (e) backup and recovery systems.

Opplet
Opplet represents (a) enterprise-wide middleware that serves the Cloud and (b) a group of end-user applications that allows end-users to utilize it. Therefore, the Opplet's functionalities can be divided into two groups:
- Services for CNM apps. Those federation services that Opplet provides to CNM apps.
- Services for end-users. Those services that Opplet provides to its end-users.
Some endeavors that are related to Opplet are included in the Farm for Opplet project (section Node clusters of this very wikipage) and DBs for Opplet project (section Database management). The core of Opplet is written specifically for the Cloud using Yii framework. Its periphery devices are assembled using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software.
App-oriented
- For the purposes of this wikipage, app-oriented Opplet refers to those endeavors to build Opplet that support CNM apps rather than its end-users.

CNM apps
CNM apps (hereinafter, the Apps) present end-user applications that are available to users of the Cloud. The Apps include:
- CNM stable apps that have at least 2 installations -- one is used for its target purposes and another is available for hands-on training. Any stable App needs to be able to work with our future Opplet WSO2 IS and, possibly, existing OpenLDAP. The Apps are assembled using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software only. Those endeavors that need to be undertaken for every stable App, must encompass (a) updating the Apps to the latest stable versions and install the latest patches if and when they become available and (b) documenting what we have and identify problems.
- CNM future apps that are installed on the CNM Lab Farm only. These apps represent either popular COTS packages or end-user application that can be deployed in the Cloud as CNM stable apps in the future.
This section lists both (a) those Apps that are incorporated, both CNM stable and future apps, as well as (b) some applications that may be potentially incorporated in the Cloud. Some endeavors that are related to the Apps are included in projects listed in DNS management and App-oriented sections of this very wikipage.
