Accolades
Firstly, Id like to thank everyone attending, taking the time out of their day, and allowing me to present This methodology was developed for military application, and therefore this presentation is the theory of applying this same methodology to a more consumer based model

Cloud Burst Methodology
Cloud Burst Methodology is the practical theory, and application of, the formation of an autonomous cloud computing fabric, intended for the creation of dedicated fabrics, established for single use, to officiate a process/mission/directive, after which that fabrics contents are then warehoused, and the core destroyed, eliminating any access structure and/or access to the data. The data is warehoused in a separate environment, with exclusionary access rights, different from and in contrast to the rights assessed within the special purpose fabric.
Cloud Burst Methodologies - Explained
The concept of Cloud Burst Methodology came from a project named MVII Vehicle Intelligence Initiative for Mobility, and the use of a technology terms Ad-Hoc VPN spawning. Ad-Hoc VPN spawning would occur, as one MVII equipped car approached another, creating an Ad-Hoc network VPN, via a spontaneously created network access key, then piggybacking to the POP (Point of Presence). The process in which, was spontaneously created, made the chance of penetration, or intrusion almost negligible.
Network Access Methodologies Explained
The key purpose of Network, or Systems security is to create an environment where security remediation was osmotic, establishing a healthy environment where CISOs could rectify issues. The key issue here is the word remediate, meaning to cure a defect, and/or issue. Even with the current behavioral AI technology being implemented within standardized Network Security platforms, we are still remediating network penetration issues rather then proactively avoiding them.
Security Implications
Such as, in any network access structure, the more perpetual time, users, and traffic in/out of even a contained network unit increases the possibility of penetration and/or intrusion, either by an internal, or external entities.
Access Management Solutions
Cloud Burst methodologies can, by proxy, mitigate possible penetrations/intrusions, not by instantiating new network protocols, but by limiting access, to single use fabrics, disallowing perpetual access by utilizing these units for special purpose computing procedures
Special Purpose Computing Solutions
Special Purpose (Use) Computing
Using special purpose fabrics, for single use computing instances
Such as transactional processing during high traffic periods
Limit Network Accessibility
By limited access
Access Control
By instantiating spontaneous user controls
Identity Management
Access Management Architecture
Special purpose computing reduces the chances of intrusion by establishing access rights, via 1024 bit encrypted keys, spontaneously created at instantiation. These key pairs have a half life, that of the users access capabilities and or accessibility, and are tied to that specific fabric.

Practical Applications of a Cloud Burst Methodology
Originally designed surrounding a military application
Other potential applications
High traffic, high volume shopping seasons
PCI, and SOX compliancy packages
Compliancy driven arenas, such as health care, specifically in disaster situations
HIPAA, PCI, and SOX compliancy packages
Mergers and Acquisitions
SOX, and other compliancy packages
Business Case Retail
Problem: Majority of credit, checking account, and identity theft occurs during high traffic seasonal shopping periods Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, New Release, other applications Solution: Using a derivative of a Cloud Burst Methodology, onboarding compliancy packages, you can process transactions, utilize CRM packages, create management protocols, and destroy the fabric after use, thereby eliminating all access control assigned to that fabric, and any other associations
Business Case Medical HIPAA
Problem: In 2014 the clinical application, of the new HIPAA laws, will come into effect. HIPAA will now not only govern patient care, but also the application of new laws surrounding DLP, Network Security, and systems hardening Patient file storage Patient demographic storage Medical records storage Patient care applications Solution: Using a derivative of a Cloud Burst Methodology, onboarding compliancy packages, you can establish special purpose cloud to officiate disaster initiatives, such as Hurricane Katrina, or Sandy, for the soul purpose of medical care, storage of documents, patients data, morgue and autopsy data. This would allow that facility to bring a fully functioning, prebuilt fabric, up in minutes. This in turn would allow unfettered access, limited by the half-life of the assessors credentials, for a certain time period, and/or until that fabrics life has expired; in turn allowing life saving medical information to be shared, safely and in a secure environment, for the time allotted.

Repetition
The same protocols and procedures would be executed, in order, subsequent to further instantiations After each mission, or in this case project, concludes, the fabrics data is warehoused, and the core destroyed, taking with it all keys associated, as well as access rights granted
Pass-off is then given back to the administrators, to access raw data collected
Event correlation, data mining, so on, is initiated Depending on the department and/or organization, internal handling of the data will differ

Conclusion
As stated, at the beginning, of this presentation, originally this methodology was created for purely military application However I have seen the necessity to carry it forward to more of a consumer application, such as fabrics that further more of a compliancy driven model. This being said, there would be a need for business and use cases to determine sustainability within that model, and subsequent configuration changes, if need be.
