Book Description

Cloud adoption is a core component of digital

concepts. It then walks you through

SaaS), deployment models (public,
private, community, and hybrid)
and implementation options

and describe the key considerations and
challenges organizations face during cloud
migration. Later, this book delves into how to
leverage DevOps, Cloud-Native, and serverless
architectures in your cloud environment
and presents industry best practices for
scaling your cloud environment. Finally,
this book addresses in depth how to
manage essential cloud technology
service components, such as data storage,
security controls, and disaster recovery.
By the end of this book, you will have

operational trades required to adopt cloud
services, no matter which cloud service
provider you choose.
