Cloud Computing: Implementation, Management, and Security
Cloud Implementation, Management, and Security provides an understanding of what cloud computing really means, explores how disruptive it may become in the future, and examines its advantages and disadvantages. It gives business executives the knowledge necessary to make informed, educated decisions regarding cloud initiatives.
The authors first discuss the evolution of computing from a historical perspective, focusing primarily on advances that led to the development of cloud computing. They then survey some of the critical components that are necessary to make the cloud computing paradigm feasible. They also present various standards based on the use and implementation issues surrounding cloud computing and describe the infrastructure management that is maintained by cloud computing service providers. After addressing significant legal and philosophical issues, the book concludes with a hard look at successful cloud computing vendors.
Helping to overcome the lack of understanding currently preventing even faster adoption of cloud computing, this book arms readers with guidance essential to make smart, strategic decisions on cloud initiatives.

Not what the title claims. This is more of a historical account and prediction towards the future of cloud computing. Both, maybe, valuable points but certainly not the technical book I was anticipating.

If you’re looking for a historical approach to cloud computing, this is the book for you. Unfortunately that is not what I was looking for.

místy možná zbytečně polopatické a ukecané, ale o to přístupnější - kompletně vysvětleno, rozebráno a popsáno jak pro odborníky tak i pro "laiky" (myšleno "lidi co se o cloud zajímají, ale nemají z něj doktorát" :))
asi nejkomplexnější a nejlepší kniha o "těch cloudech" v reálném nasazení. plus kvanta teorie a best practices, mohu jen doporučit.
