Cloud computing offers immense opportunities to improve agility and competitiveness as well as significant risks. To maximize value and avoid pitfalls, you need a thorough, vendor-neutral understanding of todays technologies, models, tools, and architectures. Cloud Computing, Second Edition presents up-to-date knowledge for every facet of cloud computing: from scoping projects through designing solutions, assessing providers to administering resources and managing cost.
Cloud computing is, at its essence, a form of service provisioning. As with any type of service we intend to hire or outsource (IT-related or otherwise), it is commonly understood that we will be confronted with a marketplace comprised of service providers of varying quality and reliability. Some may offer attractive rates and terms, but may have unproven business histories or highly proprietary environments. Others may have a solid business background, but may demand higher rates and less flexible terms. Others yet, may simply be insincere or temporary business ventures that unexpectedly disappear or are acquired within a short period of time.
This book is the result of much research and analysis of the commercial cloud computing industry, cloud computing vendor platforms, and further innovation and contributions made by cloud computing industry standards organizations and practitioners. The purpose of this book is to break down proven and mature cloud computing technologies and practices into a series of well-defined concepts, models, and technology mechanisms and architectures. The resulting chapters establish concrete, academic coverage of fundamental aspects of cloud computing concepts and technologies. The range of topics covered is documented using vendor-neutral terms and descriptions, carefully defined to ensure full alignment with the cloud computing industry as a whole.
Who This Book Is For This book is aimed at the following target audience: • IT practitioners and professionals who require vendor-neutral coverage of cloud computing technologies, concepts, mechanisms, and models • IT managers and decision-makers who seek clarity regarding the business and technological implications of cloud computing • professors and students and educational institutions that require well-researched and well-defined academic coverage of fundamental cloud computing topics • business managers who need to assess the potential economic gains and viability of adopting cloud computing resources • technology architects and developers who want to understand the different moving parts that comprise contemporary cloud platforms
