Cloud Computing Fundamentals
Learn the Latest Cloud Technology and Architecture with Real-World Examples and Applications
About the Book
Did you know that cloud computing is being used by just about every person or company on the internet today in some shape or form? Most people use the cloud and never even think about it. I've been writing, teaching and speaking about cloud computing since the time it was simply called "the cloud".
In this book, you're going to learn how the cloud works, how it can help you, your team or organization, and the different types of cloud computing.
In chapters 4 and 5, you're going to get a hands-on experience from my examples and learn real-world applications of cloud computing. In chapter 5 I'll show you:
How to create and use a Microsoft Azure subscription to get $200 credit and 12 months of 25 free services.
How to create a Windows virtual machine (VM).
How to create a Linux virtual machine.
When you read my book, you will understand different phrases and acronyms, such as:
Software as a service
Infrastructure as a service
Platform as a service
Virtualization
Multitenancy
and so much more!
We'll also talk about:
Public clouds
Private clouds
Hybrid clouds
Multi-clouds
Finally, we will look at the risks of cloud computing, cover the current marketplace and see a lot of the different companies offering cloud services. You will discover how to recognize and understand what it is these companies actually provide.
