Which Cloud?

<b>Which Cloud? </b>is the only comprehensive introduction to cloud computing that compares the top three cloud platforms: AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. It’s for all disciplines in software (anyone who wants to understand how the cloud platforms are similar and different), for anyone who is new to cloud development and management, and for anyone who is seasoned with cloud development, management, and architecture. This book will help you understand the cloud platforms, make the best decisions, convince others of your decisions, create cross-cloud solutions, migrate between the cloud platforms, and simply communicate to others who have more experience in a different cloud platform!<br /> <p>The book addresses three key challenges:</p> <ul> <li>Understanding equivalent services to migrate to from a different cloud platform.</li> <li>Understanding the service and feature-level values gained across the different cloud platforms.</li> <li>Understanding effective ways to plan for or architect a cross-cloud solution.</li> </ul> <p><br />The authors begin with service-level comparisons, but they also dig into feature-level comparisons. They compare all three platforms together, to make it simple to understand the differences between all three cloud platforms. They use matrices, diagrams, and conceptual explanations to walk the reader through the comparisons. By the end of this book, you’ll have reached the next point in your cloud solution journey. Maybe that means you’re a student… you’ll now have a much stronger high-level view of all the platforms (and understand how to compare them). Or, if you’re a seasoned architect or developer, you’ll now have a better understanding of how to do your job… whether it’s for cross-cloud solutions, migrations, decision-making, or simply improved communication with coworkers.</p>
