Multi-Cloud Handbook for Developers

By: Subash Natarajan, Jeveen Jacob

Overview of this book

Unleash the power of cloud computing with Multi-Cloud Handbook for Developers, your guide to mastering the nuances of cloud-native and multi-cloud, covering practical strategies for design, development, and management. Explore the essential concepts, challenges, and methodologies critical for navigating the complex landscape of modern cloud computing. Using core architectural and design principles (such as microservices and 12-factor architecture) and advanced strategies (such as distributed application design patterns, domain-driven design (DDD), and API-first strategies), you’ll learn how to build portable and efficient apps across various cloud platforms. You’ll understand how to leverage Infrastructure as Code (IaC), continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD), GitOps, and DevOps practices, along with containerization and orchestration techniques using Docker and Kubernetes. You’ll also get to grips with data, security, compliance, and cloud cost management strategies in multi-cloud environments. With real-world case studies, best practices, and insights into future trends, this book will equip you with the skills to develop, manage, troubleshoot, and innovate cloud-native applications across diverse cloud platforms, positioning you at the forefront of the cloud computing revolution.

Establishing an effective troubleshooting process for cloud-native applications

To effectively tackle problems in a multi-cloud environment, it is essential to have a clearly defined approach for debugging cloud-native apps. The following are the steps to set up such a procedure:

Step 1 – Detecting the issue

Detecting an issue is the first and most crucial step in the troubleshooting process. By identifying and acknowledging problems quickly, you can minimize the impact on end-users and application performance. In this context, detecting an issue consists of two primary methods:

  • Receive an alert from monitoring and observability tools: Cloud-native developers should rely on well-configured monitoring and observability platforms to detect issues proactively. These tools collect, analyze, and visualize metrics, logs, and traces from various application...
