Cloud Bibliography

by Safari Content Team

One of the greatest changes in the computing world has been the move to using common, distributed hardware and software to support services, coined cloud computing. We have chosen a selection of the most useful books in cloud computing within this bibliography. First we look at the basics and some of the key concepts and issues that arise in Cloud computing in general. Then we examine how the 'as a service' (aaS) has helped to drive and expand the reach of the cloud deployment environment. Next, the role of different cloud services, both internal to support cloud operations, and externally provided as a part of the web of cloud operational support are covered. Virtualization, the effective division of computing to more essential computing units has helped to make broad-spectrum web services effective and distributed, and is another key driver behind understanding the cloud. Combining both cloud services and existing datacenters is the role of the Hybrid cloud, aiming to take advantage of the best of both worlds. An array of cloud deployment and development platforms are described, covering both public and private cloud services. Throughout the cloud environment security is a major concern, especially when sharing and distributing user and customer data. Finally, the role of development tools and environments are examined, covering both key tools and entire development stacks. So, be sure to take advantage of the books and videos on cloud computing that you will find in the Safari Books Online library.
