Unleash the power of cloud computing using Azure, AWS and Apache Hadoop
Description
With the advent of internet, there is a complete paradigm shift in the manner we comprehend computing. Need to enable ubiquity, convenient and on-demand access to resources in highly scalable and resilient environments that can be remotely accessed, gave birth to the concept of Cloud computing. The acceptance is so rapid that the notion influences sophisticated innovations in academia, industry and research world-wide and hereby change the landscape of information technology as we thought of. Through this book, the authors tried to incorporate core principles and basic notion of cloud computing in a step-by-step manner and tried to emphasize on key concepts for clear and thorough insight into the subject.
This book begins with the fundamentals of cloud computing, its service and deployment models, architecture, as well as applications and platforms. It presents some key enterprise strategies and models for the adoption of and migration to cloud. Privacy and security issues and challenges also form a major part of our discussion in the book as well as case studies of cloud computing adoption in Sub-Saharan Africa and India. The book concludes with a discussion of several advanced topics, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Open Nebulla, Microsoft Azure, Apache Hadoop and Google App Engine (GAE).
Who this book is for
This book is intended for students of B.E., B.Tech., B.Sc., M.Sc., M.E., and M.Tech. as a text book. The content is designed keeping in mind the bench marked curriculum of various universities (both National and International). The book covers not only the technical details of how cloud works but also exhibits the strategy, technical design, and in-depth knowledge required to migrate existing applications to the cloud. Therefore, it makes it relevant for the beginners who wants to learn cloud computing right from the foundation. Aspiring Cloud Computing Researchers Instructors, Academicians and Professionals, if they are familiar with cloud, can use this book to learn various open source cloud computing tools, applications, technologies. They will also get a flavor of various international certification exams available.
