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.

Next-generation cloud-native infrastructure and platforms

Platform engineering is transforming in exciting ways, reshaping how we think about cloud-native development. It’s no longer just about using cloud services. Now, it’s about building ecosystems that boost efficiency and spark innovation. This shift marks a move away from traditional IT methods toward a more integrated, holistic approach. The focus is on making everything automated and user-friendly, with a strong emphasis on DevOps practices.

Throughout this book, we have covered topics related to platform engineers and how they partner with developers. Looking ahead, it is important to understand that the aim of platform engineering is to create systems that are not only strong and scalable but also quick to adapt to the ever-changing needs of businesses. We’re steering toward platforms that can foresee future trends and adjust seamlessly. These platforms are designed to be more than technical structures...
