Architecting the Cloud: Design Decisions for Cloud Computing Service Models (SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS) (Wiley CIO)

Excellent book clearly written, covers all the key areas.

It brings together a number of key themes and subjects for any good Solutions Architect to consider, but it was published 6 years ago, so it probably needs to be updated to take into account changes in SaaS, PaaS, IaaS and Organisational Changes. But don't let that put you off, it's worth reading.

Excellent book!!

A very interesting read, but maybe getting a little outdated already? The world of technology moves so fast that things almost become redundant in today's world. Still worth a read to understand the basic concepts and the study cases are very helpful

Recibí mi título antes de lo esperado, en buenas condiciones además es el título que realmente solicite. Excelente servicio. Gracias

Buen libro como introducción a este tema de diseño de cloud, y entender sus principales propiedades. Describe también muy correctamente las principales applicaciones de estos sistemas Cloud.

Wenn man ein Buch sucht, dass Managerwissen für Cloud-Computing vermittelt, dann ist dieses Buch genau richtig. Es vermittelt knapp und kompetent die Themen die zum Cloud-Computing gehören, auch solche, an die man auf den ersten Blick nicht gedacht hätte. Ein Techniker oder Architekt würde sich vielleicht wünschen, dass einige der Themen detaillierter behandelt werden.

Il libro è un ottimo excursus nel mondo del cloud computing, utile in particolare per chi deve fare scelte di architettura, manageriali e strategiche più che tecniche. L'autore di proposito rimane agnostico su prodotti e soluzioni ma questo, inevitabilmente, mantiene la trattazione ad un livello piuttosto alto e generico. Lo consiglio come prima lettura per capire il Cloud Computing un po' meglio, da seguire poi con libri più tecnici.

It's hard finding objective, realistic advice on all things cloud but the author has done a very good job of doing just that. After the first few chapters it became very obvious the author had a lot of experience within corporate IT not just startups. That is a critical piece for those of us in the corporate IT environment where advice on the cloud usually comes from pundits, vendors and others far removed from the reality of the challenges enterprise IT shops face. There is no technology bias or vendor bias in the book and although the author has a lot of experience with AWS he does not try and sell it for all your solutions. The book takes you through a roadmap and foundational concepts about how to approach your applications and the cloud whether you are in enterprise IT or a nice greenfield startup. Some of the concepts are available in other places but you will be hard pressed to fine a more concise ordered guide. The author also provides lots of references to other information throughout the chapters. There are a lot of concepts covered including Rest based API's, Cloud Types, Devops, Security and Compliance (really good) as well as organization impacts. You will probably discover as I did about half way through the book that 99.9 of the stuff that is covered is a great foundation for a modern enterprise IT shop whether headed to the cloud or not. I ended up bookmarking about a million things which is always a good sign. I've done three enterprise IT cloud projects and I sorely wish I would have had this book before starting them. Although I'm going back to explore some of the chapters in more detail, the book was easy to get through in a weekend. I highly recommend reading it.
