Elkhoja H. Cloud Adoption for Mission-Critical Workloads...2023 torrent

Textbook in PDF format

The cloud is busy transforming the world of information technology and accelerating business innovation, but analysts estimate that only 20% of enterprise workloads are currently located in the cloud. The unavailability of mission-critical, cloud-based applications for financial transactions, traffic control coordination, and emergency response can have serious consequences.
Cloud adoption has been increasingly important for organizations, as it gives them access to a comprehensive catalog of on-demand and scalable services, platforms, and infrastructures without having to invest in hardware and software. The cloud offers many advantages to help accelerate time to value and innovate in a more flexible, agile, and efficient way (which, in turn, helps reduce costs, increase operational efficiency, and enable businesses to respond quickly to changing market conditions). Cloud providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure are revolutionizing this adoption.
These applications need to be built to guarantee that they're reliable, dependable, and able to perform their functions.
In this report, Haytham Elkhoja explores ways to reconcile the potential of cloud platforms with the intricate requirements of reliability for mission-critical workloads. IT execs, cloud transformation officers, and aspiring CIOs will learn strategies for the successful adoption of cloud platforms and cloud native patterns, while simplifying the end-to-end operational complexity of these workloads.
