Hybrid Cloud for Developers

By: Manoj Hirway

Overview of this book

This book introduces you to the hybrid cloud platform, and focuses on the AWS public cloud and OpenStack private cloud platforms. It provides a deep dive into the AWS and OpenStack cloud platform services that are essential for developing hybrid cloud applications. You will learn to develop applications on AWS and OpenStack platforms with ease by leveraging various cloud services and taking advantage of PaaS. The book provides you with the ability to leverage the ?exibility of choosing a cloud platform for migrating your existing resources to the cloud, as well as developing hybrid cloud applications that can migrate virtual machine instances from AWS to OpenStack and vice versa. You will also be able to build and test cloud applications without worrying about the system that your development environment supports. The book also provides an in-depth understanding of the best practices that are followed across the industry for developing cloud applications, as well as for adapting the hybrid cloud platform. Lastly, it also sheds light on various troubleshooting techniques for OpenStack and AWS cloud platform services that are consumed by hybrid cloud applications. By the end of this book, you will have a deep understanding of the hybrid cloud platform and will be able to develop robust, efficient, modular, scalable, and ?exible cloud applications.

Developing Amazon SQS applications – Windows 


The communication between two or more processes or two or more applications can be synchronous or asynchronous. Message queues are one of the fundamental techniques used for passing messages between applications. 

Amazon SQS is a scalable messaging queue service that can be used to pass messages between different components of an application, thus helping to decouple the application components. SQS also allows developers to save messages or data that might get lost if the application or its components goes down.

Amazon SQS supports both standard queues as well as First-In-First-Out (FIFO) queues.

The following are the typical uses cases of implementing the SQS service in your application:

  • Application decoupling: The components of an application can be decoupled and they can talk to each other using messages queues; thus, each component of the application can be managed independently without affecting other components.
  • Work queue and concurrently:...
