Cloud Without Compromise: Hybrid Cloud for the Enterprise
Many companies claim to have "gone to the cloud," yet returns from their efforts are meager or worse. Why? Because they've defined cloud as a destination, not a capability. Using cloud as a single-vendor, one-stop destination is fiction; in practice, today's organizations use a mosaic of capabilities across several vendors. Your cloud strategy needs to follow a hybrid multicloud model, one that delivers cloud's value at destinations you choose. This practical guide provides business leaders and C-level executives with guidance and insights across a wide range of cloud-related topics, such as distributed cloud, microservices, and other open source solutions for strengthening operations. You'll apply in-the-field best practices and lessons learned as you define your hybrid cloud strategy and drive your company's transformation strategy.

Recently I finished reading this book, the authors focus through the whole book on the definition of cloud as a capability not as a destination and how businesses got affected by COVID-19, and the role of the cloud on that.
The first few chapters are basics for cloud fundamentals and patterns including the cloud history and the rise of the hybrid cloud then they go through security in the cloud and how the attacks increase after the pandemic, especially with a lot of employees WFH and how business could reduce its impact and how attackers seek to exploit misconfigured cloud systems. Also, they mentioned some methodologies of how to apply the principle of least privilege (POLP) as no organization is fully immune to cyber attacks. Later on, they encourage you to think of the cloud as a set of capabilities, where any business can harness the powers of multiple vendors and technologies, broadening your organization's ability to innovate with speed and reach new audiences. That level of agility, resiliency, and adaptability is precisely what the "new normal" of a post-COVID-19 marketplace demands. In the end, they mentioned some best practices for securing containerized data and apps.
I liked the book and recommend it for business leaders and C-level that could help their organizations or the ones they work for succeed as well as tech people working with / interested in the cloud as mentioned in the book: "Tech people who understand business outperform the others who don't".
