To get the most out of this book
We will strive to align everyone’s understanding of the cloud adoption journey, but it is assumed that you will possess a basic knowledge of software architecture, cloud architecture, and organizational change management concepts (albeit with limited experience).
It is assumed that the organization has a general desire to move toward cloud computing and, therefore, already understands concepts such as Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). Additionally, topics such as software-defined networking, Azure services (e.g., compute and storage), SQL versus NoSQL databases, DevOps, and CI/CD should be familiar. We may mention these throughout but will not dive into further detail about them.
