Understanding the Benefits of Public Clouds (AWS, Azure, and GCP)

More and more industries require secure, yet efficient infrastructure to support growing customer demand. Additionally, they require a highly-performant global, fast, and resilient network architecture that powers line of business and non-business services, all while ensuring data stays on a secured private backbone, thus ensuring they provide the best overall experience to their end users.

This chapter will describe the benefits of the AWS, Azure, and GCP cloud architectures. You will learn about each architecture’s global software-defined network, high availability (HA) infrastructure, scalability infrastructure services, fault-tolerant infrastructure, and how to optimize your organization’s workloads by conforming to cloud architectural best practices using documented frameworks.

In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following topics:

  • Global infrastructure
  • Fault-tolerant...
