{{Short description|Type of computer infrastructure collaboration}} A ''' community cloud''' in computing is a collaborative effort in which infrastructure is shared between several organizations from a specific community with common concerns (security, compliance, jurisdiction, etc.), whether managed internally or by a third party and hosted internally or externally. This is controlled and used by a group of organizations that have shared interests. The costs are spread over fewer users than a public cloud (but more than a private cloud), so only some of the cost savings potential of cloud computing are realized.<ref name=nist>{{cite web|title=The NIST Definition of Cloud Computing|url=http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-145/SP800-145.pdf|publisher=National Institute of Science and Technology|accessdate=24 July 2011|archive-date=3 April 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120403230714/http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-145/SP800-145.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref>
The community cloud is provisioned for use by a group of consumers from different organizations who share the same concerns (e.g., application, security, policy, and efficiency demands).
