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.

Managing compliance across multiple clouds environments

Remember—as cloud-native developers, we must uphold the highest standards of regulatory adherence and industry-specific compliance, ensuring that our applications flourish within the bounds of legal and ethical constraints. Developers should ensure that cloud-native applications adhere to and comply with consumer, industry, legal, and internal standards. Non-compliance might result in serious legal and financial consequences.

The following diagram proposes a continuous compliance cycle to ensure adherence to the corresponding standards and regulations:

This approach suggests four phases in the compliance cycle:

  • Identify: Organizations should choose compliance frameworks that align with their industry and regulatory requirements. This framework should serve the organization to identify compliant security practices. Examples of frameworks...
