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.

SRE in multi-cloud environments

Site reliability engineering (SRE) is a key discipline in managing cloud-native applications, especially in a multi-cloud environment. SRE originated at Google when a team of software engineers was tasked to make Google’s already highly reliable services even more reliable. The goal was not just to maintain uptime but to create scalable and highly reliable systems that could support Google’s rapid growth and the increasing complexity of its services. This team approached operations from a software engineering perspective, applying principles of computer science and engineering to operational problems. This methodology was a departure from traditional IT operations, focusing on automating and improving the reliability of systems through engineering solutions rather than manual intervention.

The principles of SRE

SRE emanates from the challenges of managing large-scale, complex, and dynamic production systems. At its core, SRE operates...
