Abstract: Abstract With the advent of Cloud Computing and the hype along this term, developments in Clouds have lead to many mature technologies and solutions which are available up to day. Whilst for a long time Clouds have been seen as a wanna-be competitor to High Performance Computing (HPC) and thus the attitude of HPC-affiliated entities was rather to ignore them, their capabilities currently show a good potential for providing the means for extension of HPC portfolios.Within this chapter we will present how the different aspects of Clouds can be seen, what are the pros and cons of Cloud technologies and concepts and what kind of models are currently discussed. It will give details about ongoing activities in Europe with respect to the provisioning of HPC Clouds and an initial analysis of needed improvements to further extend the synergistic use of Clouds and HPC.
