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.

Crafting and Deploying in the Multi-Cloud as a Developer

As we continue our expedition into the multi-cloud landscape, we’ve reached the stage of setting up our base camp. This base camp is the heart of our operations – the place where we plan our routes, store our supplies, and prepare for the journey ahead. In our technological journey, this translates to developing and deploying cloud-native applications in a multi-cloud environment.

To fully exploit the benefits of the multi-cloud environment, you, as a developer, along with platform engineers, need to embrace new practices and methodologies. You have to think in terms of cloud-native platform which consists of Infrastructure as Code (IaC), continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD), GitOps and DevOps, and container orchestration.

In earlier chapters, we focused more on the cloud-native application side of topics with practical hands-on exercises. In this chapter, we will learn how to employ the strategies...
