'Assessing Azure, Amazon EC2, Google App Engine and Hadoop for IT Decision Making and Developer Career Growth.'
This book is an industry-leading primer on cloud computing: its background, the purpose it serves, how the cloud can be best utilized, which platforms offer which features, and how to get started. Cloud computing is one of today's most interesting technologies, but remains a bit mercurial and mysterious. It can mean a lot of different things to different people. By tracing several real-world scenarios - from the requirement gathering through the design, coding, and deployment phases - this book will give you a clear understanding of what it takes to build and deploy a successful, scalable application that leverages cloud computing platforms and tools.
