I've been in cloud computing since the very start, and I'm here to help you on your journey to understand the cloud. Consider me your tour guide. I'll be with you every step of the way, but not in a creepy way. 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.
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. • Manage changes in the cloud transition and digital transformation process. • Implement cloud computing solutions efficiently and effectively. • Use case patterns for cloud models and types. • Best practices for adopting cloud computing.
Through this book, I hope that you will see the absolute necessity of understanding Cloud Computing. This textbook is intended as a guide for an explanatory course of Cloud Computing for the Graduate and Post Graduate Students of several universities across the world.
