Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing has recently emerged as one of the buzzwords of ICT industry. Numerous IT vendors are promising to offer computation, storage and application hosting services and to provide coverage in several continents, offering service-level agreements backed performance and uptime promises for their services. While these clouds are the natural evolution of traditional data centers, they are distinguished by exposing resources as standards-based Web services and following a utility pricing model where customers are charged based on their utilization of computational resources. This book is an introduction to the complex and emerging world of the Cloud Computing. It helps you understand the principles and acquire the practical skills of Amazonss AWS. This book is an introduction to the emerging world of the Cloud Computing. It helps you understand the principles, implementation, operation & security of Cloud Computing. My aim is for you to gain sufficient knowledge and experience with Cloud Computing using the best up-to-date techniques. I have tried for it to be the easiest book from which you can learn the Cloud Computing.I have chosen the topics for this book to cover what is needed to get started with Cloud Computing, not just what is easy to teach and learn. On the other hand, I wont waste your time with material of marginal practical importance. If an idea is explained here, its because youll almost certainly need it.This book is emphatically focused on the concept. Understanding the fundamental ideas, principles, and techniques is the essence of a good implementation of cloud computing. Through this book, I hope that you will see the absolute necessity of understanding Cloud Computing.The study/learning of Cloud Computing is an essential part of any computer science education and of course for the B.Tech / MCA / M.Tech courses of several Universities across the world, including AICTE compatible syllabus. This textbook is intended as a guide for an explanatory course of Cloud Computing for the Graduate and Post Graduate Students of several universities across the world.
