Contrary to what most believe, the cloud is not a technological innovation; it is an economic one. Although the cloud is based on virtualization technology, virtualization is not a new technology. Virtualization has been around for more than 50 years, starting with IBM mainframes in the early 60s, namely the CP-40. For decades, we have been trying to match better hardware and system utilization to the task or workload we are working to complete. Virtualization started with scientists and mathematicians from both IBM labs and MIT trying to perform complex calculations. They were trying to get more work done and, at the time, one task was limited to one system. IBM came up with the idea of virtualizing memory, which creates separate instances and completing more tasks could take place in the same amount of time...

Overview of this book
Cloud adoption is a core component of digital
transformation. Scaling the IT environment,
making it resilient, and reducing costs are
what organizations want. Architecting Cloud
Computing Solutions presents and explains
critical cloud solution design considerations
and technology decisions required to
be made for deploying the right cloud
service and deployment models,
based on your business and
technology service requirements.
This book starts with the fundamentals
of cloud computing and its architectural
concepts. It then walks you through
cloud service models (IaaS, PaaS, and
SaaS), deployment models (public,
private, community, and hybrid)
and implementation options
(enterprise, MSP, and CSP) to explain
and describe the key considerations and
challenges organizations face during cloud
migration. Later, this book delves into how to
leverage DevOps, Cloud-Native, and serverless
architectures in your cloud environment
and presents industry best practices for
scaling your cloud environment. Finally,
this book addresses in depth how to
manage essential cloud technology
service components, such as data storage,
security controls, and disaster recovery.
By the end of this book, you will have
mastered all the design considerations and
operational trades required to adopt cloud
services, no matter which cloud service
provider you choose.
