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.

Deployment best practices

In this section, we will learn about deployment best practices for cloud-native applications in a multi-cloud environment. Deployment is a critical phase in the application life cycle, ensuring that your application is delivered reliably and efficiently to your target cloud platforms. Let’s delve into some key aspects of it:

  • Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines: CI/CD pipelines are the backbone of modern software development. They automate the steps from integrating new code into your application to deploying it into production environments. In multi-cloud scenarios, CI/CD ensures that your application is consistently and efficiently delivered across different cloud platforms. CI/CD promotes consistency in code integration, testing, and deployment, which is crucial when targeting multiple cloud providers. It helps eliminate variations in deployment processes across different platforms. Here are some best practices that...
