Cloud Computing

This is a short book on purpose. I don't want to overwhelm you with technical detail. I go slow and easy, so you can build up an intuition about what cloud computing really is, one idea at a time.

When you finish reading, you'll understand cloud computing. When you hear someone say some new cool thing uses cloud computing, you'll understand exactly what they mean. That's a promise.

What you'll learn

• Leverage cloud computing practices to successfully build a cost-effective cloud environment.
• Select the most ideal cloud service model, and execute suitable cloud design strategies for your company.
• Implement cloud computing solutions efficiently and effectively.
• Use case patterns for cloud models and types.
• Best practices for adopting cloud computing.

You will understand different main cloud computing types such as infrastructure-as-a-service, platform-as-a-service, software-as-a-service. In addition, you will also get an overview of modern cloud computing types such as data-as-a-service, desktop-as-a-service, and function-as-a-service. The book also provides good detail about different cloud deployment models: public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud, community cloud, multi-cloud, and multitenancy.
