Successful design requires a simultaneous balance between desired strategic, economic, technical, and risk attributes. Complex designs are not necessarily better and can introduce additional risk rather than mitigate it. Defined requirements are where design starts, not where it finishes. As architectures are designed, evaluated, and compared, insight is revealed. Insight often provides a feedback loop for requirements to update or change. Updated requirements lead to new design scenarios and, potentially, more insight. When strategy, economics, technology, and risk align, objections will subside or will be negotiated away. Only add design complexity if non-negotiable requirements dictate it.

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.
