Cloud computing platforms can allow organizations to become more
efficient and more responsive to users of both internal and
external systems, yet a clear understanding is needed in order to
separate the facts from the hype behind this new and rapidly
expanding area.
This "Guide to Cloud Computing" describes the landscape of cloud
computing from first principles, leading the reader step-by-step
through the process of building and configuring a cloud
environment. The book not only considers the technologies for
designing and creating cloud computing platforms, but also the
business models and frameworks in real-world implementation of
cloud platforms. Emphasis is placed on learning by doing, and
readers are encouraged to experiment with a range of different
tools and approaches.
Topics and features: includes review questions, hands-on
exercises, study activities and discussion topics throughout the
text; describes the key technologies involved in cloud computing;
explores the use of cloud computing in business environments;
demonstrates the approaches used to build cloud computing
infrastructures; reviews the social, economic, and political
aspects of the on-going growth in cloud computing use; discusses
legal and security concerns in cloud computing; examines techniques
for the appraisal of financial investment into cloud computing;
identifies areas for further research within this rapidly-moving
field.
This easy-to-follow and highly practical textbook/guide is an
invaluable resource for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate
students of software engineering, computer networking and related
courses. The extensive worked examples will also appeal greatly to
researchers, IT infrastructure technicians and application
developers."
