 +
 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +A Workload is a deployable or operational computing subject that performs an application, service, processing, platform, or data function.
 +
 +A Workload may include:
 +
 +  * Executable software
 +  * Runtime configuration
 +  * Processing logic
 +  * Data
 +  * Dependencies
 +  * Network endpoints
 +  * Storage relationships
 +  * Identity and access configuration
 +  * Resource requirements
 +  * Operational metadata
 +
 +A Workload may operate through:
 +
 +  * A [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:v:virtual_machine|Virtual Machine]]
 +  * A container
 +  * A group of containers
 +  * A physical computing resource
 +  * A serverless execution environment
 +  * A distributed computing platform
 +
 +A Workload differs from an [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:image|Image]]:
 +
 +  * An Image is an Artifact used to instantiate a computing subject
 +  * A Workload is the deployable or operational subject that performs a computing function
 +
 +A Workload may be instantiated from one or more Images.

 +===== Note =====
 +
 +A Workload differs from a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:m:measurement_workload|Measurement Workload]]:
 +
 +  * A Workload is the deployable or operational computing subject
 +  * A Measurement Workload is the set of operations presented to a Workload or another measured entity during measurement
 +A Workload may be:
 +
 +  * Stateful
 +  * Stateless
 +  * Persistent
 +  * Temporary
 +  * Centralized
 +  * Distributed
 +  * Interactive
 +  * Batch-oriented
 +  * Event-driven
 +
 +The term does not prescribe a particular runtime, orchestration platform, operating system, execution model, provider, or implementation technology.
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +A transaction-processing service and its runtime configuration form a Workload deployed to an Infrastructure Environment.
