Overview of this book

This book introduces you to the hybrid cloud platform, and focuses on the AWS public cloud and OpenStack private cloud platforms. It provides a deep dive into the AWS and OpenStack cloud platform services that are essential for developing hybrid cloud applications. You will learn to develop applications on AWS and OpenStack platforms with ease by leveraging various cloud services and taking advantage of PaaS. The book provides you with the ability to leverage the ?exibility of choosing a cloud platform for migrating your existing resources to the cloud, as well as developing hybrid cloud applications that can migrate virtual machine instances from AWS to OpenStack and vice versa. You will also be able to build and test cloud applications without worrying about the system that your development environment supports. The book also provides an in-depth understanding of the best practices that are followed across the industry for developing cloud applications, as well as for adapting the hybrid cloud platform. Lastly, it also sheds light on various troubleshooting techniques for OpenStack and AWS cloud platform services that are consumed by hybrid cloud applications. By the end of this book, you will have a deep understanding of the hybrid cloud platform and will be able to develop robust, efficient, modular, scalable, and ?exible cloud applications.

Exploring OpenStack Private Cloud

In the previous chapter, we discussed the AWS Cloud and saw how organizations can leverage various features provided by Amazon such as EC2, S3, and EBS for their business needs. Amazon bills its users based on the usage of the services and as the usage increases, the costs also rise significantly. Since organizational data has to reside in the public cloud, it is prone to attacks and susceptible to security violations. It is for this reason that some organizations prefer hosting an internal private cloud within their own private data center. In this chapter, we will explore the popular open source cloud platform called OpenStack.

The following topics are covered in this chapter:
