Book Description
By finelybook
This latest textbook from bestselling author,Douglas E. Comer,is a class-tested book providing a comprehensive introduction to cloud computing. Focusing on concepts and principles,rather than commercial offerings by: cloud providers and vendors,The Cloud Computing Book: The Future of Computing Explained gives readers a complete picture of the advantages and growth of cloud computing,cloud infrastructure,virtualization,automation and orchestration,and cloud-native software design.
The book explains real and virtual data center facilities,including computation (e.g.,servers,hypervisors,Virtual Machines,and containers),networks (e.g.,leaf-spine architecture,VLANs,and VxLAN),and storage mechanisms (e.g.,SAN,NAS,and object storage). Chapters on automation and orchestration cover the conceptual organization of systems that automate software deployment and scaling. Chapters on cloud-native software cover parallelism,microservices,MapReduce,controller-based designs,and serverless computing. Although it focuses on concepts and principles,the book uses popular technologies in examples,including Docker containers and Kubernetes. Final chapters explain security in a cloud environment and the use of models to help control the complexity involved in designing software for the cloud.
The text is suitable for a one-semester course for software engineers who want to understand cloud,and for IT managers moving an organization’s computing to the cloud
