excellent first book on cloud computing
By Ah Pui
I am very impressed with the quality of this book as each of the nine chapters is very well written and weaved together to tell a very powerful story. It builds up a very compelling case for cloud computing as the book covers many aspects of cloud computing with sufficient technical depth from general, high level concepts and classifications down to design of cloud-enabled applications for scalability and reliability.
There are currently 3 classifications for cloud computing:
1)IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) - Amazon EC2, Microsoft Azure etc
2)PaaS (Platform as a Service) - Google App Engine, VMWare CloudFoundry, Microsoft Azure etc
3)SaaS (Software as a Service) - Salesforce Force.com, Google Docs etc
The author presents a very clear explanation for each of the different classifications of cloud computing and even shows us some basic REST API on how to access Amazon EC2 and S3. The elasticity (on demand) and pay-as-you-use nature of cloud computing provides real savings in dollars and cents and provide agility to the business as the author carefully draws out. I like how the author makes the case that cloud computing is here to stay and will be the disruptive technology of today as it is adopted based on real business needs instead of based solely on technology. There will definitely be a huge emergence of zero-cost startups who can go a long way without asking for VC fundings as they can get infrastructure with thousands of servers serving millions of users with fraction of costs compared to the traditional way of owning IT infrastructure in house.
Security is a major concern in adopting cloud technology. The author acknowledged it and attempted to address the concerns by showing various security precautions taken by existing cloud vendors. Throughout the book, the author takes a neutral stance on various issues and even layout various reasons when NOT to use cloud. However, I sense the author tried to too easily dismiss security as a valid and serious concern for adopters as he believed cloud vendors will provide much better security than even in house data centers in the near future.
The author also presents an intriguing case on how open source movement will drive the adoption of cloud computing, just like cloud computing will fuel the growth of open source. The same relationship also exists for smart devices where the exponential growth of smart devices accessing the web will accelerate the adoption of cloud computing and making the current devices even more powerful and appealing. For those more technical readers who are looking to implement cloud technologies, you will not be disappointed even when this book appeals to a very broad audience. It goes into distributed database concepts such as sharding, mapreduce and cloud bursting using hybrid clouds like amazon virtual private clouds. If you want to know what cloud computing is and why the hype around it, just buy and read this book. You will be glad you did.

Good introduction to cloud computing
By Erik Gfesser
Potential readers of this text, especially those familiar with Manning, might be interested in knowing that in their preface, the authors indicate they "had to convince Manning to publish a book that wasn't aimed squarely at programmers. When we told them the book had no source code, that didn't compute. We held firm, arguing that a huge need exists for a book that tells it like it is for the enterprise IT worker. The cloud will eventually have its greatest effect on the largest of organizations. But they're precisely the organizations that have the most trouble changing. We wanted to talk directly to you about how to undertake this shift, what it will mean to you and your organization, and how to proceed in a sane and reasonable manner."
The authors are correct that this need exists, and after reading what they have to offer here, this space will continue to need additional contributions for quite some time. As a consultant leading a virtualization project this past year, a prior reading of this text would have helped prepare me for some of the discussions that ensued with client personnel. While technical texts such as "VMWare vSphere 4" by Scott Lowe (see my review), significantly increased my confidence at a product level, the periodic conversations surrounding what can be seen as a possible next step following virtualization, use of a cloud, could have benefited from materials like the authors provide here, because quite simply there are very few product neutral, cloud focused texts.
The authors actually do provide some source code, however minimal, in this text, but it is mainly confined to what Amazon provides with its cloud API. Some code snippets from competitors such as Microsoft are also provided for contrast, even though the authors indicate throughout the text that Amazon leads the pack and predict that Amazon will continue to lead in upcoming years, mainly because Amazon got to the starting line earlier due to providing to the public what it first had utilized solely for internal solutions. The first few chapters, entitled "What is Cloud Computing?", "Understanding Cloud Computing Classifications", "The Business Case for Cloud Computing", "Security and the Private Cloud", and "Designing and Architecting for Cloud Scale", together with the concluding chapter, "The Future of the Cloud", were well done, but chapters "Achieving High Reliability at Cloud Scale", "Testing, Deployment, and Operations in the Cloud", and "Practical Considerations" feel at times rushed or out of place.
The target audience of this book is probably greater than what the authors surmise, which is to say that regardless of whether protential readers are managers or programmers, anyone interested in quickly getting up to speed with some of the core tenants of cloud computing can probably benefit from this book. As a consultant architect, I especially appreciated the persistence of the authors throughout the text of focusing on the five main principles that define cloud computing (pooled computing resources available to any subscribing users, virtualized computing resources to maximize hardware utilization, elastic scaling up or down according to need, automated creation of new virtual machines or deletion of existing ones, and resource usage billed only as used). In addition, the authors present the high-level business and architectural cases for cloud computing well.

This book exceeds all my expectations
By Rodrigo CAMARGO
I confess I was a little skeptical when I started reading this book. I was looking for a broad explanatory cloud computing book but not a too shallow one. Neither I was expecting a full detailed book, since each cloud has its specific ways of configuration according to either its flavor or vendor.
When I read the paragraph at begining of the book saying "This book is for business managers, IT managers, IT architects, CIOs, CTOs, CEOs, IT strategy decision-makers, and all potential cloud services buyers" I started to wonder if it was worth reading at all, because as a software senior developer I'm not looking for superficial introduction only. But against my prejudice I persist reading and I was surprised to see that this book contains lots of technical and practical information not only intended to managers at all, like detailed examples of how to create and deploy hosted services into some clouds, either using actually piece of code or RESTful-like URL examples. Also, chapter 5 describes de design and details of a cloud scale.
It's very interesting to detail this type of info, since a manager, CIO, CTO or whatever non-developer staff possibly wouldn't fully understand (and also don't need to), but with that in the content it will reach a little bit deeper explanation. Regarding this not so shallow approach, the book can also explain a little bit deeper how things really
work and avoid the superficial of a well know manager-intended technical book. Perhaps, if you are a manager ou CIO you may hear lots of mumbo-jumbo at first, but this won't make you stop reading I suppose. It is not that boring and you may understand how things work from technical side, and how easy it is for some cloud vendors to stand up and running using a few commands. And more important, it will make you able to distinguish between the types of clouds.
Obviously there are geneneric and superficial code examples, and the book don't dig deeper into details, but this is not the point after all.
I think is very helpful the many types of cloud explanation on chapter 2 and why choose one or another. As the author said, they focused on "how the cloud works by looking under the hood and examining the technological underpinnings". Very clear and directly into the point.
The full detailed vendor clouds are shown, including technological infrastructure offered, cloud service details and prices.
This book lets you know what is a cloud computing model, how it works, why to choose among cloud environments and when to choose it. Also it explains in details why the cloud model is not the silver bullet for "super-cost-saving architecture" as everybody may think, explaining why cloud model may not be suitable for legacy systems, applications involving real time scenarios or even for application dealing with very confidential data.
The content deals with what the could computing is, the classification of cloud types, a small business case to help you choose among IT solutions, cloud security, designing and architecting for cloud scale, achieving high reliability at cloud scale, testing / deploying, considerations and beyond cloud.
