High Energy Physics(HEP) has been a strong promoter of computing technology,for example WWW(World Wide Web) and the grid computing.In the new era of cloud computing,HEP has still a strong demand,and major international high energy physics laboratories have launched a number of projects to research on cloud computing technologies and applications.It describes the current developments in cloud computing and its applications in high energy physics.Some ongoing projects in the institutes of high energy physics,Chinese Academy of Sciences,including cloud storage,virtual computing clusters,and BESIII elastic cloud,are also described briefly in the paper.
