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.

Selecting the right technologies for a cloud-native foundation

Continuing on our metaphorical multi-cloud journey, we now understand the importance of having a map (cloud-native design patterns) and establishing a common language (API-first approach). Now, it’s time to assemble the right equipment. Selecting the right technologies for our expedition is akin to choosing the best gear and equipment. It’s about finding tools that will help us navigate the terrain more efficiently, keep us safe, and allow us to overcome any obstacles that we might encounter. Let's touch on a few key tools and technologies that are truly shaping the cloud-native transformation:

  • Cloud-native technologies that facilitate multi-cloud application design (Kubernetes, Istio, etc.):

    To navigate through different cloud environments, we need versatile tools that are recognized and can function well in all of them. In the cloud world, such universal tools are cloud-native technologies. These...
